We do, for Doris seems to he oh, such a quiet little girl until one becomes acquainted with her. She is one of the brightest pupils in our History class and can l e referred to on any subject concerning it. How we admire her wavy tresses! Doris intends to enter R. I. C. E. Now. Doris, don't be too strict with your grammar school pupils. Always rememl er your own school days. We wish you luck. Dot. ADA AL INA ALDRICH (“Pinkey”) Motto: “To have jrtends is to be one. Ada likes athletics immensely, so much so that she goes to every baseball. football, and basketball game, and cheers herself almost hoarse for the teams of good old P. H. S. Anyone who does not know the fine points of these games may go to Ada, for she is fully informed. She intends to become a nurse and help those less fortunate than herself. She will go to the Memorial Hospital in September to liegin training. We expect to see her name enrolled among those who have been of great service to human sufferers. EDITH ALLEN (“Dutchie,” “Edie”) Motto: He who hesitates is lost—rushing jor lunch CLASS BASKETBALL (3), SWIMMING (3) Edith comes from Saylesville and she certainly is a credit to that small village. As she spends her summers on Cape Cod. she is a very good swimmer, and in our natatorial sports she has come through swimmingly. Edith has many friends here among us at P. H. S. She has a cheery smile and a friendly manner and we know she will be happy wherever she goes. With her name on the Honor Roll Edith has a boost towards her success in the future. nniiiiiiiiiuiiiinitiiiiiiiiiiiitniiiiiitntuiii.in:! iiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinitiiaiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiitiMiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiintiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiitiiiniiiiifiiiiniiiuiiiiiiiiiuiiM-iiii. liii iiiniiiuiiiuiitMMiiiumiHiiuimiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiii'niiiimiiiini 12 Pawtucket Senior Hich School 1926 MERRILL LOWDEN ALLEN (‘ Captain,” “Admiral”) Motto: “ 1 ou can't keep a good man down.” Allen, that tall, distinguished looking gentleman, comes from room 19. He is quiet and well behaved except during the lunch period. His favorite subject is History in which he has accomplished much. Merrill intends to enter Providence College. He expects to take up the medical profession. Well, here’s luck, “Admiral,” and some day we hope to hear from you again. RAYMOND WALDEMAR ANDERSON (“Andy,” “Swede”) Motto: “He that cannot obey cannot command.” TREASURER SCIENCE CLUB (4), CLEE CLUB (3) Here we have “Ray” Anderson, our handsome sheik.” Although “Andy” is of the quiet type, he has become prominent in school activities. Keenly interested in science, “Ray” was honored with the office of treasurer of the Science Club. On the subject of radio he is a “whizz” and can give out more information than a text-book. For that matter, he is well up in all of his studies. “Andy sang with the glee club last vear, and we must admit, did more than his share. The Rhode Island School of Design is to be honored with his presence next year. Best wishes! WALTER WILLIAM ANDERSON (“Andy”) Motto: “Be yourself.” track (4) Bang! What’s that? Smoke! Oh, that’s “Andy” tearing over the boards in his favorite 50-yard dash. Another medal we suppose. “Andy” is certainly a speedy boy. You wouldn't think so if you saw him in Room 10. He says history is his favorite study and judging from his marks, it must lie true. “Andy” intends to go to R. I. State College next year and we know he will be one of their star dash men. We send him our best wishes. ARTEMISE GERTRUDE ANDERTON (“Art”) Motto: “Do your best, then try to do better.” Artemise is one of our very quiet girls but she is greatly liked by all of her friends. Outside of school when she is not studying, she spends much of her time playing the violin and is quite an accomplished player. She is one of the business type and intends to be a stenographer or bookkeeper after leaving high school. We are sure that she is worthy of a fine position and we certainly wish her great success. ........in mi mi iiiiiiin iiiiiiiii iiiiii mi iiiiiiiiiiiiiinnmiMiimiMiiMWBiiiiwiiwiiiwiiiwiiniiwiiiiiwiMiiiMiiwMwiiwiiiBiiiniiiMHiiniwiiwiiniiiiinniiniiiiniwiiiBiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiinii i iiiiiiiiiniiMiinimiiiniiininiiiniiiinini«iiMiii— 1926 Pawtucket Senior High School 13 imiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinimiimiiimiiunmimiiiimiiiiimiiiN IIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIilllllllUMItlllllllUIIIIIIIIII iiimiiiiiiiiiiiMimiiiiiiiiiitiitminiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiHiiiii iiiniiimiiiiiiini iiiiiuiiiimi GLADYS VELNA ANDREW (“Glad”) Motto: “Keep smiling.” ORCHESTRA (1) “Miss Andrew, now stop that talking and get to work!” This sweet refrain greets good-natured “Glad” nearly every period. Then she looks serious and pretends to study hard. Thus we can see she thoroughly enjoys herself in all her classes. “Glad” likes “gym” best, hut she says she wouldn’t like it so much if Miss Jones wasn’t the teacher. In her four-year high school career she has never been absent or late. How’s that for an attendance record? Next year she will enter the business world and probably become somebodv’s faithful “stenog.” Rest of luck. “Glad.” MILDRED GLASSEY ANDREWS (“Ted”) Motto: “Why worry? led. in spite of her masculine nickname, is a distinctly feminine young lady. She is the living exponent of her favorite motto, “Why worry? and should she ever decide to spread that gospel, she would have no difficulty in finding pupils eager to learn. Her favorite indoor sport, need we state it. is dancing. Of all her studies she likes shorthand and typewriting the best. “Ted’ intends to enter the business world after graduation, whereupon some office will be greatly enhanced. Good luck. “Ted.” EDNA ARNOLD (“Eddie”) Motto: “ ot first you don't succeed. ry, try again?9 DRAMATICS (3) (4), SENIOR PLAY (4), HONOR SOCIETY Edna is that petite brunette in Room 23C. She may he seen in the midst of an interested group at lunch time relating some funny experience. Edna is interested in all P. II. S. activities, especially dramatics. She will not soon be forgotten by her roles as “Aunt Hetty” and the little French girl in the “Champion.” Edna is quite a horsewoman, we hear, having all the advantages of the great open spaces of Savlesville. She is undecided about next year’s plans, but the class of 26 wishes her the best of luck. PHEBE ARNOLD (“Pheeb,” “Shorty,” “Ducky”) 1 lotto: “Let your conscience he your guide, but—.” SWIMMING (ll (2) (3) Id), MANAGER SWIMMING (4), BASKETBALL (3 I (4), TRACK (3) (4), GLEE CLUB (4) A small bundle, hut all pep! No more popular girl in the class than Phcbe. She likes a good time and can always be depended upon to do her part. Phebe is always glad to see you and always has a joke or something witty to tell you. She is also a prominent athlete, being both a basketball player and a mermaid. In fact, at the Girl Scout camp she was the first girl to obtain the rank of white cap. the highest swimming rank offered. Phebe was rewarded for her interest in athletics by managership of the swimming team. A snappy manager she made, too! Good luck for the future! iimiiii Pawtucket Senior Hich School 1926 11 MURIEL RUTH BAILEY Motto: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” ORCHESTRA, CLEE CLUB (4) Muriel is one of our quiet, demure classmates. Although she is not very widely known, her own circle of friends finds her a pleasing and agreeable companion. Muriel is an accomplished pianist, and is greatly interested in music. She has her own particular place in our Orchestra and Glee Club. Next year will find Muriel at Bryant and Stratton’s, and we know that she will follow out her motto there as well as she has done at P. H. S. EMELINE BUXTON BALLOU (“Em”) Motto: “Why worry?” HONOR SOCIETY Emeline quiet? Oh. no she isn’t! You may have that impression if you don’t know her, but all her friends agree that she is lively. She came to us from New Haven one day in our Junior year. Emeline is one of those bright pupils who never take a book home but who can alw'ays show you a report card that will dazzle your eyes. Her favorite study is applied arts and next year the Rhode Island School of Design will be her port. DOROTHY BARROWCLOUGH (“Dot.” “Dotty”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble ’til trouble troubles you.” “Dot” is one of our expert “smilers.” If you don’t know her, you get the impression that she is rather quiet, but then, that’s for people who don’t know her. Her favorite subject is English. She is at the height of joy when she is skating, although she enjoys all other athletics. “Dot” intends to be either a stenographer or a bookkeeper. She hasn’t decided which, yet, because she likes both subjects so well. She is a conscientious worker and P. H. S. wishes her success. JESSIE BARSAMIAN (“Red,” “Jess,” “Bones”) Motto: “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Jessie is like a restless, seething wave, for she is never quiet. We cannot imagine that we could take her on ornithological trips; that is, if we particularly wished to see the birds. Have you ever known of Jessie’s coming toward you silently? No. Her approach is usually heralded by a shriek of pleasure or impatience. Jessie intends to earn her livelihood by stenography, and we hope that she will be a shining success.

CLASS BASKETBALL (2) (3) (4) Petite, vivacious “Buddy”! Always the center of attraction. School activities make up a great part of “Bud’s” routine, especially where dancing is concerned. Even though she is devoted to tripping the light fantastic, her studies are never neglected. Her favorite subject is English if marks have anything to do with it. Other things also claim “Bud’s” attention at school, as anyone passing 21C at a recess hour could readily see. We know that everyone in old P. H. S. will miss “Bud's” smile, but if any of us come back next year, we will probably meet her, as she intends to take a P. G. before continuing her studies at Brown. ALFRED EARL BINFORD (“Al”) “A1‘ is one of the tall, cpiiet members of our class. However, he is well known throughout the school by his genial personality and ready wit. Although “Al” does not spend much time in school, he has accomplished a great deal in the two years that he has been here. We do not know what he intends to do next year, but we feel sure that he will come out on top. Best of luck, “Al.” GLADYS MARION BLISS (“Glad,” “Seekonk”) Motto: “Never do tomorrow what can be done today BASKETBALL (4), GLEE CLUB (4) Gladys, the friend of all, is rather quiet while in the class-room, but she makes up for it at the proper time. No game would be complete without her in the front line cheering our boys and girls. For the past four years “Glad has travelled daily from Seekonk to P. H. S., never thinking the weather too unfavorable even in the season's worst snowstorms. Next year we will see her resuming her studies at R. I. C. E. and the best wishes of her classmates go with her. ALFRED HENRY BOOKER (“Al”) Motto: “Qui vivra. verra DRAMATICS (3) (4), “GREEN STOCKINGS” (4) Who is the versatile young man who can so easily and realistically take the part of a boy in his 'teens or an old man Why, “Al” Booker, of course. “Al” has been in practically every Dramatic Society play for the past two years. Perhaps most of us will remember him as the eccentric “Cappv Ricks,” which part “Al” acted remarkably well. Although “Al” has not been on our debating team, he can debate and has much knowledge of parliamentary law. He is undecided as to his next year’s plans, but we are sure that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. Good luck. “AL” iiniHiimiiiiiiiiuiiiimimiiiimiiiHiiiimimiimi If) niaiiti«� iniiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiuiiimnitiiniiiHiimiiiiMitmtitiniiiMiiiiHiiiiiiiiwiiiaiiiiiiiiimiiiniiiiiiiiintiiiaiiiiniiniiiinmiuuiu Pawtucket Senior High School MiiwiiiiiiiiuMiimuimiiMUiuiiiiaiiiiaiiiHiiiiHiiiwMmiiimiiMiMiiiiiiniiiiniimiiiiMiiitnuiniiiiiiiiiMtuiMniautuui 1926 HARRIET AVERIL BOURNE (“Hat”) Motto: “Virtue is its own reward. CLEF. CLUB (4) You’ve all seen that girl down at the third period lunch who carries a tray laden with food enough for ten. haven’t you! Well, that s Harriet, our promising young poet. She writes many poems hut only her best friends ever see them; it’s a pity the Gleaner doesn’t catch her. Harriet’s favorite period is the one she spends for lunch, only its not long enough for her. She hopes to take up journalism next year at Brown. Good luck. Harriet, see you in the limes. HOPE BRADFORD (“Hopeless,” “Hoppy”) Motto: “Stop! Look! Listen! Hut not on the way to lunch” Hope would lead one to believe that she is shy and quiet, hut that is not so, for when she is among her most intimate friends she is quite another person. If you are lucky enough to be one of her close friends you know her as a jolly and fun-loving girl. One could hardly speak of Hope without mentioning her inseparable pal, “Sis. They certainly are the Siamese Twins. If you see one of them somewhere, you are sure to see the other, too. Hope intends to start life as a business woman. We wish you tin best of success, Hope. HERBERT ARTHUR BRADLEY (“Herb”) Motto: “Keep smiling” GLEE CLUB (4) Bradley is one of those studious, good-natured fellows who sits in Room 21C. He is one of the very few that are never late for school— not a bad habit. Bradley says he hasn’t any favorite subject hut we think he likes history the best. After school and evenings he works in a drug store, and he plans to go to a School of Pharmacy in the near future. The students of P. H. S. wish him the best of luck. ALBERTA ZITA BRENNAN (“Bert”) Motto: “Never worry” CAPTAIN CLASS BASKETBALL (4). TRACK (3) If you can count “Bert ’ as one of your friends, you are certainly lucky. You can’t be blue when she is around for she comes bouncing along with her contagious smile that catches everyone, and chases your troubles away. She is the kind of person who always manages to face her troubles with a smile. “Bert” has great school spirit, too. and she always supports the various activities with the usual “gang of girls. Her hobby is dancing the Charleston, usually accompanied by her own singing of some popular song. Believe me, you can’t heat her either. The Normal School will probably see her next year and we hope she has the best of luck. Smile on, “Bert.” and the world is bound to smile back to you. iiiiuiiiiiiliiiniiiitiiiuiiiiMiiiiiiliiiiiliniiliaitliniuniiiiiiiiiBiiiiMiiiaiiiittiiiHiiiiaiiitiiiiiaiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiHiiiniiiniiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiniiiittiiiiuiiiKiiimiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiir iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiniiiiiiiimiii 1926 Pawtucket Senior High School 17 MiiranaiuninmiimiiwnmiumnnnumiNif'iiiiii ARTHUR WILLIAM BRENNAN (“Art”) DRAMATICS (3) (4) Three cheers! Here conies Brennan, the official photographer of P. H. S. He and his little camera are sure to he seen at every high school activity. Although “Art” is an ardent “birdie” man, he has another hobby—and that is dramatics. Arthur has proved his ability in this field more than once. In his studies Brennan, though not a “shark,” has managed to secure good marks. Arthur intends to continue next year at some higher institution of learning, and there’s no doubt but that he will be as successful there as he was in P. H. S. LOUISE STICK EY BRIDEN (“Lou”) Motto: “The thought that goes the farthest toward, making life worth while, that costs the least. and does the most, is just a pleasant smile .” DRAMATICS (3) (4), GLEE CLUB (3) (4), STUDENT CLUB PRESIDENT (4), SENIOR PLAY COMMITTEE (4), VICE-PRESIDENT DRAMATIC SOCIETY (4) “Lou” has one of those perpetual smiles that simply won’t come off. She is of a very lovable nature and declares that she “loves everybody.” Maybe that is one of the reasons why everyone is so fond of her, especially the “opposite sex.” A glance at her picture will give you another reason why they all “fall so hard.” “Lou” is undecided as to what she will do after graduation but at present plans to attend Mount Ida School. Whatever she does, we are sure she will make a success of it. and be just as popular and well-loved as she is here. EMILY RUTH BROWN (“Brownie”) Motto: “Never say ‘no.’ say ‘maybe’.” GLEE CLUB (4) Ruth, or “Brownie,” is very humorous, good-natured and sincere. She is everybody’s friend. Her one ambition is to be “Somebody’s Stenog.” She is willing to attempt anything just to be agreeable. Her hobby is, undoubtedly, dancing. She has another, too, that she doesn’t know about and that is talking. Her favorite subjects are shorthand and English. How about it. Ruth? Ruth likes P. II. S. and P. H. S. likes her, and it wishes her the best of luck when she enters the business world. HOPE BROWN (“Brownie”) Motto: “Service. not pleasure, is life.” Yes. this is our sweet, demure, little Hope, whose winning ways have won for her many friends. Hope is never seen taking any books home, yet she manages to do very well in her studies. Her favorite subject is biology. Hope intends to go in training next year in order to become a nurse. Imagine our Hope in a uniform! Won’t she look cute? Of course she hopes to get her millionaire husband in a sanitorium. The best of luck, Hope. mum mu n i 18 Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 JOHN KENNETH BROWN (‘‘Ken” “Brownie”I Motto: “Live and learn” “Ken” is a very obliging and cheerful young man. He is the boy with the melancholy voice and can generally l e heard long before he is seen. “Ken’s” one misfortune is his shyness, but he doesn't let that worry him. He is a great pal. and is always ready to help others. His ever-present smile and ready friendliness have done as much for Ken as dancing, etc., have done for some of our sheiks. Keep it up. “Ken. we’re counting on you to make good. LEO PHILIP BROWN (“Brownie,” “Curly”) Motto: Be it ever so homely, there is no face like your own. BASKETBALL (31 (1), DRAMATICS (3) (4), GLEE CLUB (3) (4). GLEANER (4), CLASS BOOK (4), OPERETTA (41, HONOR SOCIETY Here he is. folks—step right up—line forms at the right—and meet “Red Hot Leo Brown.” Yes sir. that’s just who he is! A pair of sparkling eyes, a head of curly hair and a smile that you can’t forget— that’s “Brownie.” He’s a real “gloom-chaser,” always ready to amuse his friends with his ready wit and clever tricks. “Brownie” is one of our basketball luminaries and is one of the most accomplished actors in the Dramatic Society, having gained recognition through his ability to play character parts. Au revoir. Leo, and the best of good luck and good wishes in all your future undertakings. LUCY WHALEY BROWN (“Tude,” “Lu”) Motto: “The way to have a friend is to he one” We welcomed to our class this year a young lady from Westerly High School. Of course you have seen her in Room 17. a quiet miss surrounded by a group of friends attentively listening to what she is saying; for when “Lu” tells something, it generally is interesting and makes one glad to know her. Lucy intends to train at the Homeopathic Hospital in Providence next September. We are sure that she will make a successful nurse and her classmates of P. H. S. wish her the best of luck. CATHERINE GENEVIEVE BUCKLEY (“Kitty.” “Kath”) Motto: “Laugh and the class laughs with you; stay after school and you stay alone .” by, here's “Kath”—she of the lovely auburn curls and a natural marcel that is the envy of half the feminine element of the school. “Kath” came to us from Darlington and has proved herself a fine friend and classmate to all who know her. Catherine loves to dance and often “trips the light fantastic” in her leisure hours. She will enter R. I. C. E. in the fall. We are sure that she will be successful, and that her future pupils will all be fine scholars. For how could it be otherwise with such a charming teacher to instruct them? 1926 linillNHHMIlMNM IIMMliailll i mm BiiiNiiiiaNiivviiiiHMnMiHiNiiHiiiMiiiMttiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiniiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiNiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiniiiniiiiMiiraiiiuiiinriiiHiii miniiimin Pawtucket Senior High School 19 CURTIS ALLEN BUCKMINSTER Hollo: “Haste makes waste” Who is that quiet young fellow who sits in Room 21C? Why, that is Curtis. He has been with us at P. H. S. for four years and has made a great many friends here. Whenever you see Curtis, he is always smiling, and this has helped him much in forming his friendships. He does not know what he is going to do next year, but whatever he does, or wherever he goes, the best w ishes of the ('lass of ’26 go with him. KATHERINE ROSE BUSH (“Kay,” “Kath”) Motto: “You can't put it over9 by putting it off.99 VICE-PRESIDENT CLEE CLUB ill, CLASS BOOK 111, CLASS HISTORIAN (4),’ HONOR SOCIETY, SECRETARY SCIENCE CLUB (4), ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER “CREEN STOCKINGS” (41 Kay needs no introduction as she is one of the most popular girls in the class. Who always knows the latest dance steps? Who can always sing the newest song hit? Who’s always looking for a good time? Why. Katherine Bush. Besides this, Kay” is up in all her studies. Due to her ever-smiling countenance and pleasant disposition. Katherine has always been called a “regular sport.” Next year “Kay” intends to enter R. I. C. E. and we’re quite sure that she will uphold the reputation established in P. H. S. DOROTHY MAVIS BUTLER (“Dink.” Dixie,” “Dot”) Motto: “A laugh is north a hundred groans in any market99 HONOR SOCIETY “Dot is one of our champion smilers. She is always ready for a good time, whatever it may be, and yet her reports are always worth having. Her favorite studies are history and English, while her favorite occupation, it would seem to those who know her, is talking She would surely win a marathon talking contest, hut never mind. “Dot,” we enjoy listening. Next year “Dot” expects to be a “steno .” “Good luck,” says P. H. S. EVE GERTRUDE CALLAND (“Eve”) Motto: “A little nonsense non and then is relished by the best oj men.” Who is it that runs into Room 21C at 8:29 A. M.? Why. it's Eve! Of course, in that case, one minute is as good as five, for Eve is seldom late. She is our petite classmate who just radiates cheerfulness and good humor. If you’re feeling blue, just talk to Eve and she’ll surely have something funny to tell you about what happened in chemistry or English. Even exams hold no terrors for Eve for she has kept a good scholastic record during her four years at P. H. S. Good luck for the future. Eve. Pawtucket Senior High School 20 1926 EDYTHE CHRISTINE CAMPBELL (“De De,” “Camel”) Motto: “Laugh and forget it Of course vou have seen Edythe, better known as “De De among her friends, in the classrooms of P. H. S. She is often present at the basketball games cheering for the P. H. S. girls. Edythe is enthusiastic about athletics and intends to he a physical director. Next year, if we should go to Savages in New York, we would find Edythe learning to accomplish the one ambition in her life. P. H. S. wishes her the best of luck in her chosen career and hopes she will make as many friends as she has while in high school. RICHARD CANAVAN (“Dick” I Motto: ‘'Procrastination is the thief of time.” A new arrival from La Salle is “Dick.” who. besides being a student, manages to startle the natives of the Attleboro by tearing through the countryside at twelve and a half miles per hour in a “Times” truck. Although “Dick has attended La Salle for the past three years, he is now a loyal member of P. H. S. “Dick” intends to matriculate at Providence College next year, taking with him the best wishes of the Class of 1926. DONALD ROBERT CAULFIELD (“Don”) Motto: “Another day tomorrow.” CLASS TREASURER (4), SECRETARY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (4), SWIMMING 121 (3) (4), CAPTAIN SWIMMING (41, BASKETBALL (4), MANAGER TRACK (4), GLEE CLUB (4) A splash, and another victory is gained for P. H. S. as our swimming “champ” adds another first place to his enviable record. In addition to beating fishes at their own game Don has attained quite a little skill in basketball, having made his letter in that sport and has also successfully managed our track team. “Don” intends to enter the hall of fame al Dean next year. The best of luck to you, “Don,” both in studies and athletics. OLIVE DELPHINE CHENETTE Motto: “Keep serene.” ORCHESTRA (I) (2) Olive, or “Olivino,” as she more affectionately is called, is an ideal school chum. She is loyal and devoted and ever willing to answer an S. O. S. signal. Her quiet humor and witty comments are always on hand to replace gloomy furrows by wrinkles of laughter. She is a lover of sports, tennis being her favorite; incidentally she is a good sport herself in that she doesn’t mind a few bumps on the ice or on a hill. She is studious enough to play square with herself and her teachers, although her laurels lie in history. She is a devotee of the Muses, too. Her kindness and bigness of heart are revealed in the fact that she intends to become a trained nurse, although on leaving P. H. S. in June she plans to venture into somebody’s office and chew away her pencil studying over some devastating shorthand notes. I I II I I 1920 Pawtucket Senior Hicii School 21 ALFRED CLARK (“Al”) Molto: “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, others have greatness thrust upon them.” CHEMISTRY TEAM (4), FIRST PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY ESSAY CONTEST (4) Alfred Clark is next on the list. He is a studious and a serious individual, but he is well liked by all. He can usually overcome all obstacles, but his stiffest opposition, just al present, is his attempt to become acquainted with his new deep voice. We must admit that he annoys Mr. Wolfe because he enjoys talking to certain young damsels in the lecture room. Clark is an enterprising and conscientious chap, and it was only recently that he showed us his ability in the literary and chemistry field. All of us wish him the best of luck in his college life at Brown. ELIZABETH CLARK (“Betty,” “Libby,” “Liz”) Molto: “Be a sport.” CLEANER (3) (4), CLASS BOOK (4), HONOR SOCIETY “Betty” is one of the students who has been on the Honor Roll ever since she began high school. She is studious, but this does not mean that she doesn’t have time for other things. “Betty” has plenty of school spirit as well. She attends many of the games and plays and is always ready to give her support when possible. “Betty’s” favorite study is English. She intends next year to go to Vermont University and we wish her the best of luck. IRENE BERN ADI E CLARKE (“Rene,” Kid”) Motto: “Smile and hustle.” GLEE CLUB (3) (4) You know “Rene,” that attractive girl in Room 21C, of course. She is of medium height, has brown hair, blue eyes and a pleasing personality. “Rene” belongs to our Glee Club and is considered a very good singer. The things that “Rene” likes to do best are reading, dancing and playing tennis. Rene” intends to be somebody’s “stenog” and tells us that she will study at Bryant Stratton’s Business College. P. H. S. wishes you the best of luck, Rene.” FRANCES WINIFRED CLAYTON GLEANER (4), HONOR SOCIETY Frances came to us during our Junior year and since then her stories have helped to make our fiction department what it is today. Frances says she likes English best, but we notice that her other studies do not suffer. She may be seen surrounded by a group of girls in Room 27 sending them into gales of laughter by her brilliant wit. Some day Frances may be one of our modern authoresses, nevertheless, what ever she does, she will always remain true to dear old P. H. S. 22 uilHNiiiiiiirtiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiitiiiiiiiiuniiiniiiiitiiiaiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiMiiiiiintiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiniiiitiiiiniiiiuiiiRiiiitiuiHimiiiiiBiMiHiiinaiiiBiii Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 CELIA COHEN (“C”l Motto: “Laugh it off.” Celia, though of a somewhat retiring disposition, is a happy, staunch, real friend. Her dry humor, jolly comments and humorous opinions are a source of mirth and interest. Her favorite subjects are French and English. She likes sports in general, perhaps preferring history. She is an accomplished musician, having even been broadcast several times. She intends to join the stenographers’ union and enter some office to wear herself away with stenographic troubles. ESTHER COHEN (“E,” “Es.” “Esther”) Motto: “A gay, serene spirit is the source of all that is noble and good.” Who says we haven’t any live wires in our class? Here’s one all right. You can always tell when “Es” is around, for she is usuallv in the midst of her chums, giggling over some mysterious joke. “Es” is an enthusiastic lover of sports, and her voice can always be heard from the cheering section. She is undecided about her future plans, but we all know that success will be hers in whatever she undertakes to do. Good luck. “Es”! HELEN EMERIA COLEMAN (“Babe”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.” “Sweet” is the word to describe this little girl with the soft brown hair and blue eyes. Reading seems to be her favorite pastime, but we are not sure that dancing does not take first place. Where you find Irene you usually find Helen. To know her is to love her as all her friends can vouch for. We sincerely hope and feel that when she enters the hard business world next year she will be esteemed among her associates and will prove her worth as she has at P. H. S. EDNA LOUISE CONLEY (“Teddy”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” ORCHESTRA (1), CLEE CLUB (4) This is “Teddy,” one of the jolliest members of the Class of 26. Whenever there is no fun she makes it, so we can never feel blue when in her company. Her wavy, unbobbed tresses are the object of much admiration from all her classmates. Can we ever forget her coiffure and that rig she wore Freak Day? English is her favorite study, but “Teddy” likes all her other subjects. She is also the star bookkeeper (?) in her class. Next year she will enter the business world. Best of luck, “Teddy.” iniilMllli uinmntiiiiiiifiniiirsiiMiiiiiitiitiiiiiiiiiitiriiiiiiiiiiiiiftiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiniiiiaiiiniiiiuiiiiiitiiiiiiiitititniiiniiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuniuititiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiitiiiiiiriiii 1926 Pawtucket Senior High School 23 EDWARD THOMAS COTE ( Ed ) Motto: “Be prepared.” Here’s an excellent student, but in his intense interest in trigonometry he becomes a faulty orthographer and forgets whether his monogram is spelled Cote (hill) or Cote (side). Do you accept “Hillside” as a compromise, Ed? Bugling is his favorite amusement, much to the despair of the neighbors, I presume. He has become exceedingly proficient in his favorite art, however, but forgets his bugle when requested to play in public. In “Ed” we have one of those remarkable students who never carry home books but remain brilliant nevertheless. Except for his fiery epithets, Edward is a very good boy. CATHERINE 1MELDA COYLE (“Kay,” “Cath ”) Motto: “Be a live wire and you’ll never get stepped on.” Who is that “petite” brunette who sits in 22C amidst a throng of admirers? It is none other than our own little Kay,” as usual the center of fun and laughter. Kay’s favorite pastime is dancing and we know she more than “trips the light fantastic.” Since “tvpe” is her favorite subject we expect to see her in some office working for a very fortunate employer. Although we envy “Kay’s” future surroundings, we proudly send her forth with our very best wishes for success. JOHN JOSEPH CROMPTON (“Jack”) Motto: “Honesty is the best policy.” “Jack” is that very sociable chap who comes all the way from Fair-lawn. Everyone knows “Jack because he is so agreeable and good-natured. Ask him to do anything and he always does it. You look in Room 22C in the morning and you will always see “Jack” surrounded by a group of friends reading the morning paper over his shoulder. “Jack” chooses trigonometry and chemistry as his favorite studies. He is fond of all kinds of balls, such as baseball, basketball and policeman’s balls. Next year “Jack” is going to take up drafting in Brown Sharpe’s. The Class of 1926 feels sure that he will be successful in this line of work and will be a credit to P. H. S. EUNICE ELIZABETH CULLEN (“Lu”) Motto: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” To general observers Eunice is a model pupil who spends much of her time studying, but a whole lot more having a good time. If you ever want to find her, look around for Rae Kenyon and she will be there, too. Eunice declares English and history to 1 her favorite studies and we don’t much wonder when we see the marks on her report card. She loves to drive an auto and we hope she won’t run up anv telegraph poles before she enters Rhode Island College of Education next fall. tin nm i n an.iMiMin MM M MWl«� � i� “� inmi 24 iiimiiiwiniunitiiiiiiiiiniiiiHiiiuiHittiiiiiinniitmiiiinMraitimtiinuiniiiniiiiniiiuiiiinuiiittinniiiuiiiiiiiiiiuiinHiiiiiiiMiiiBnMtinminmmiiimniinimmmmmtiimiminmiiinimRinmnn Pawtucket Senior Hich School 1926 luiliiuiumiimiimiimiuiniiiaiiiiimmiiiuniiniiinmitt iiiiniiiailuaiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiniiiiniimiiiDiiiiniiiniiiiiuiiiiiiiiiuiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiuiiiiiiiiaiiiuiiiiniiiiHiiniiiiHiiMlinBitniiimniciiu'iiiiuiiiuiiiiuiiiiiiiiHiiiiMiiiMiratiiimiiniiiiiiiiN HORACE EARL DARLING Motto: “Be seen—but not heard.” CHEMISTRY TEAM (4), HONOR SOCIETY Here we meet Darling. His is indeed a quiet but interesting personality. He is a great lover of girls (?) and a student of high standing. His humerous spells seldom occur in public, hut he is very amusing when privately interviewed. His philosophical periods usually end in another attempt at studving. Horace’s favorite study is chemistry, and the store of information he has on that subject is simpiy astonishing. Darling admits that he will probably attend Brown University next year. Best wishes! ROBERT DARLING DAVENPORT (“Bob,” “Bobby”) Motto: “Always with a smile” ADVISORY BOARD ( J� , SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE 111, CLASS BASEBALL (1), BASEBALL (31 (4) Here's another member of our baseball team. Last year Bob played as a substitute, but he was occasionally sent in to “Pull the game from the fire.” Bob is seen at most all of our sports—even if he does get in for nothing. He is also one of our honorable class representatives. His favorite study is history, although his teacher may think otherwise. Bob plans to go to the University of California after leaving P. H. S. Good luck. Bob. JOSEPH MAY DAVIS (“Joe,” “Doc”) Motto: “Don’t give up the ship” BUSINESS MANAGER “DADDY LONG LEGS” (3), “SALLY AND CO.” (4), ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER “THE CHAMPION” (3), ASSISTANT STACE MANAGER “GREEN STOCKINGS” (4), TREASURER DRAMATIC SOCIETY (4), SENIOR RECEPTION COMMITTEE (4), ADVERTISEMENT COMMITTEE (4) Treasurer of the Dramatic Society, a member of the Advertisement Committee, and a very active member of the Rostra is a hard man to translate, but once translated he proves to be a genuine friend. He is also a great man with the ladies, for he has been seen as many as four times with a high school girl. W ell, never mind. Joe. that s one trouble you won’t have to worry about. We don t know what you intend to do in the future, but we certainly wish you luck. EFEIE LOUISE DAWES (“Effie”) Motto: “To have a friend, be one. DRAMATICS (4), HONOR SOCIETY What? Did you ask who that quiet blonde-haired girl is in Room 22C? W hy, everyone knows Effie. And she is not so very quiet when she is with her friends. She is one of those remarkable people who are never too late but never too early—just in time to finish a piece of homewrork. That is what is called brightness: just like her hair. When she graduates, Effie expects to sail forth into the business wrorld. We know she will be very capable, and we wish her every success. 1926 iiiwimntraiimiimiiiMiMtmmtfimnmmNNiHinmiratmtmmmtiimnmimuitmiinnrainmiimiiiiniinnnmiiraiMiiiuiiiiiiHitm nmnnmimimnir Pawtucket Senior High School mmuimti 25 iiimiHtiitiwniMiiMiii«MNaiiiMuuiiiiiiiuaiimiiiiiiiimiiuuiiuiiiiuiiiwiiiHiiiiimiuiiiniiiiniiii FLORENCE ROSE DeCOURCEY (“Tid,” •Rosie”) Motto: “Look up. and laugh, and love, and live.” HONOR SOCIETY, CLASS BASKETBALL (1 I (2) (3) Florence is one of our most brilliant students. She has attained hisrh averages in all her studies, but she excels especially in I nited States History and stenography. She is also interested in any form of athletics. Next year Florence will continue her studies at Bryant and Stratton College, where she will prepare for a career as either a court stenographer or a private secretary. She will, without doubt, become very successful at either of these positions, because she has demonstrated skill in her studies. LLOYD WESLEY DENNIS, JR. (“Wes,” “Denny”) Motto: Be natural.” TRACK (4),DEBATING (4), GLEE CLUB (3) (4), ORCHESTRA ( 1 ) (2) (3) )4) Lloyd is a native of our big city. He is always in great haste, and whether he is going to orchestra practice, where his violin helps to make some of the melodious sounds that we hear during the sixth period, or whether he is just “tearing” up the corridor to get a little track practice, we leave it to you to find out. Lloyd’s favorite studies are English and history, while algebra is the contrary. Lloyd has not as yet decided upon the institution which he will attend next fall, but wherever it is, Lloyd, the students of P. II. S. wish you good luck. MARION DORIS DEYOE (“Dot,” “Dorrie” Motto: Laugh, love, and lift.' DRAMATICS (4), “GREEN STOCKINGS” (4) Here’s the kind of a girl that everyone knows and everyone likes. She always wears a smile and a good word for all. “Dorrie” is active in Student Club work, and her favorite pastime is dancing. Until recently. Doris didn’t show her dramatic ability, but her chance came in “Sally and Co.” “Dot” expects to hold down a position as “Somebody’s Stenog” next year, and the Class of 1926 is certain that Doris will remain that bright and merry girl that she has always been. CECILIA PAULINE DILLON (“Cecile,” “Celia”) Motto: “Be good, and you’ll be happy, but you’ll miss a lot of fun.” Cecilia, the girl who is hardly ever serious and who always keeps you laughing with her funny stories. Cecilia is quite tall and has brown hair and blue eyes. She spends a lot of her time reading and dancing, and her favorite outdoor sport is tennis. Cecilia frankly confides to us that she intends to be a second Helen Wills. She is going to attend Normal School and we know she will meet with success there. 26 VMMIMIIMNVIMBMMOTMMMM in iin i n ■. i i;.. i i. ’ 'i'i ' i n i.; i; • ; mr mmifii n mm. iimil 1 u , - nunui um uif m tn vn-iim m mii Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 IIIIBIIIMIII—IMIllHIIWIIIIIIIIIWIIIIIIIIHIHilimMIIIIIIIIIIIIIWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIMIIimilHIHIWWIIHmillHIIIIIIHIIWIIIIIinilllllillllli IIIIHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIHIIUIIHIIIHBIU LEO VINCENT DONNELLY (“Professor,” “Chick”) Motto: ‘7 can l be done, but try and do it .” Leo is that tall youth of Room 22C who is always quiet. He is one of the few boys of P. H. S. who have this characteristic and his l est known characteristics are his extreme bashfulness and timidity, especially with the young ladies of the school. “Chick” is no mean hand at reading, which he enjoys doing better than anything else. He would say, “Give me a book, or give me death!” Another favorite pastime of his is pole vaulting. No wonder some call him “Professor.” Leo intends to enter Providence College after leaving P. H. S. and we all wish him the best of luck. LILLIAN FRANCES DRISCOLL (“Lil”) Motto: ‘7 5 always darkest just before the daien.” ORCHESTRA (2l (3) Did you say she was quiet? You don’t know half of it! Lillian is one of our diligent students, but she can be mighty jolly at the same time. She has been combining the normal and commercial courses during her four years at P. H. S. while the rest of us have had all we could do to manage one of these. R. I. C. E. will probably have the honor of her presence next year and some day she’ll be teaching. Lucky pupils, we ll say. Success to you in your future undertakings, Lillian. RICHARD DUCKWORTH (“Ducky,” “Dick”) Motto: “Live and learn ” Here he is—one of the handsomest boys in P. H. S. “Dick” has always been popular w ith the fair sex—and for that matter with the other portion of the student body and the faculty as well. He is a good dancer and almost every high school festivity is graced with his presence. “Ducky” is a good soccer player and also “shines” in basketball. He intends to continue at some higher institution of learning next year. Best wishes. “Dick.” JOHN THOMAS DDL GALL (“Johnnie,” “Jack.” “Birdie” Motto: “Aide-toi. le del tJ aid era.

BASKETBALL (4), MANAGER BASKETBALL (4), FOOTBALL (3) (4), HOCKEY (2) (3) (4) When high-jump is mentioned around the school. “Birdie” stands in the lime-light. His man-sized figure has caused many a heart to flutter liope-fully. but still be remains immune. “Birdie” has also been our mainstay at center on the school eleven for the past two years.

One’s pen feels just a trifle shy At writing things to fit. At editing, and things like that, She certainly arrives. hile as for marks! she has the trick Of always getting fives. Her glasses that she wears so prim Are really a disguise To give a wise and knowing air To keen observant eves. Compared with us poor dubs, she is Most certainly peculiar, But after all is said and done We think a lot of Julia. CATHERINE EVANS Motto: “knowledge is foresight and foresight is power” LINCOLN ESSAY CONTEST Catherine is one of the studious pupils in Room 23. She came to P. H. S. this year and has made many friends. She says she prefers German of all her studies. Catherine distinguished herself lately by winning the prize for the ‘‘Essay on Abraham Lincoln.” Although it was difficult for her to get used to the ways of our school she has made the Honor Roll right along. Next year Catherine will go to Beloit College. We wish her the best of luck. EDMUND JOSEPH FARRELL (“Ed,” “Eddie”) Motto: “Live and let live” TRACK (4), BASKETBALL (4) Here we have one of those quiet l?l little Seniors for whom Room 23 has become famous in the past year. “Ed,” with the aid of the able Prof. Mara, has performed some new and startling experiments—in the absence of Mr. Wolfe. He always has a new story of his adventures to tell, and though some of them may grow a little in the telling, he is always sure of a crowd of appreciative listeners. Bending the speed laws with a “Times” truck is his favorite pastime. But although he doesn’t wear his hooks out studying them, his name can usually he found on the Honor Roll. Next fall “Ed” hopes to wear the little brown cap. 28 Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 iBmmiiiauimitimiiHiiiimiiwmiiiiiuiniifMiiiiiiiiiiiimimttiiiiiiiiinimtiiutuiiiiiiiiiiiiimiuin ELIZABETH LUDOVINA FITZGEKALI) (“Libby,” “Sparky”) Motlo: “Eat, drink- and be merry, for tomorrow we die-t.” “GREEN STOCKINGS” (4), ADVERTISEMENT COMMITTEE (4 ), HONOR SOCIETY, ADVISORY HOARD (4) Elizabeth is a leader in every respect. First in her classes! first in thinking up fun! first especially when it’s a question of “eats!” “Libby” successfully captained the basketball team for two years and her excellent guarding has been the Waterloo of many of our opponents. The school always has at least one loyal supporter at all the games, for “Sparky” and the Westcott are always there, no matter what the distance or the weather— if the Westcott can make it. “Libby” also finds time to attend social events and can be depended upon to start some fun. Next veer by her winning personality, she will make herself popular at Trinity Colle-re. CATHERINE MARIE FLATLET (“Cath”) Motto: “Tenga Vd. Cuidado!” Catherine is one of these sensible girls, although she is a fine sport and enjoys a good time. She is either overflowing with spirit or she is very-earnest according to the demand of the occasion. If you look for fun or a good time, or should you want help and advice, all will be found in Catherine. Catherine is very fond of Spanish and English. She is also very fond of reading fine literature. She has decided on a normal school training which will fit her for teaching in a convent. Goodbye and good luck, Catherine. MARY IRENE FLYNN (“Mae”) Motto: “Nothing venture, nothing have.” Who? That “petite” young girl in Room 23? Why, that’s our Mary. She has won a high place for herself by dint of hard work for the last four years. All of her teachers will testify to that. They say “good things come in small packages” and that saying certainly holds true for Mary. She is small, but when it comes to mischief, it isn t the smallest part she takes. Mary intends to go to Normal School. We wish her the best of luck. HELEN MAY FOLLETTE (“Happy,” “Hel”) Motto: “A happy disposition contributes more to success in a lije career than any other element,” Come, Helen, smile! There, that’s the way! Live up to your motto! Helen has done exceedingly well during her four years with us. She confesses that her favorite studies are English and Home Management. Her hobby is dancing. We know that you want to keep thin, Helen. Helen expects to enter Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, where she will study nursing. We wonder who the lucky invalids will lie. P. H. S. wishes you good luck and goodbye. .............................................................................. 1926 Pawtucket Senior High School 29 miiMiiiMiiuiiMiiimiiiMiiiniiiMiimiiiiminiiin IM lllltvttl: nil Mil 1111 :lllinidnillllllUlllllllllllllllllilllllMtlMUIIUlinUllHIMMaU DOROTHY CHARLOTTE FORREST (“Dot,” “Smiles”) Motto: “Aim to please.” Dorothy, with dazzling blue eves, bewitching smile, rosy cheeks and fluffy brown hair, is indescribable. Being of a very quiet hut sweet disposition, she is liked by all who know her. Although “Dot” is seen most of the time studying, she finds time to support the school activities. She, too, will enter the commercial world after she leaves P. H. S., and we wish her the best of luck and happiness in her future work as a student of Brvant and Stratton’s. MARGARET MARY FOSTER (“Peg,” “Peggy”) Motto: Today we launch; where will be anchor?” CAPTAIN CLASS BASKETBALL (3), BASKETBALL (4), TRACK (3), JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE (3), SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE (4) ‘‘To have friends, one must he one.” This is the secret of Margaret’s popularity. “Peg” is very much interested in basketball and everyone will remember her for her clever playing in the West Warwick game. “Peg” can always lx depended upon for the very latest news. She is also a good musician. She possesses all the characteristics of a good friend, and wherever she goes the best wishes of her classmates will attend her. MARGUERITE WINIFRED FOX (“Peggy,” “Margie”) Motto: “Love to one. friendship to few. and good will to all” GLEE CLUB (3), MEMBER OF COMMITTEE TO SELECT BUSINESS MEN SPEAKERS. STATE HONORS IN “RELATION OF GOOD ROADS TO HOME LIFE.” SECOND PRIZE IN “CAPITAL PUNISHMENT” Who is the tall girl hurrying down the corridor with a pile of books on her arm? She is the one who makes tin famous speeches in the public speaking class and who writes prize essays for a pastime. It is our Marguerite, who is greatly liked by all her classmates. After leaving high school, she intends to enter the ranks of the learned and become a school teacher. We send our best wishes with her to Rhode Island College of Education. LESTER FRIEDMAN (“Les”) Motto: “Play the game.” TRACK (3) (4), DRAMATICS (3) (4), GLEE CLUB (3) (4), SENIOR PLAY COMMITTEE (4), CHEMISTRY TEAM (4), ORCHESTRA (1) (2) (3) (4), LEADER JAZZ ORCHESTRA (4), HONOR SOCIETY, DRAMATIC SOCIETY SCHOLARSHIP Here he is—our jazzy orchestra leader with his never-failing fiddle. Lester has taken part in so many school activities that it is hard to begin to enumerate them. In spite of his various duties he has acquired an enviable reputation as a scholar, and is distinguished by the fact that he is the only male student in P. H. S. taking Latin IV. “Les” is extremely popular with the student body—especially with one certain blond miss— and with the faculty as well. He expects to attend Brown University and then Harvard Medical School.

The simple reason is that she has one natural talent and that is singing. What could make her happier than singing periods? Besides. Ruth is quite a poet. The Gleaner has not discovered this because she is very modest. Nevertheless, Ruth has good intentions. She has resolved to get up early in the morning to study a little harder, and to go to bed early. From this, we learn that her heart is in the right place. Her favorite studies are typewriting and shorthand. Tis well, for Ruth intends to go out in the business world. We wish her heaps of good luck. MAE ESTELLE GILPATRICK (“Masie”) Motto: “Smiles make one happy” Here’s one of our girls who’s always good natured and jolly. You may see her any time in Room 23 surrounded by her friends, joking and laughing. Haven't you seen that smile of hers? You don’t know what you’ve missed. iMae is rather a quiet little girl except when surrounded by her friends and then you wouldn't know her. She has been taking a normal course and expects to brighten R. I. C. E. next year with her ever smiling countenance. Our l est wishes for success are with her. HOPE HAZEL GOFFE (“Hopie”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.” GLEE CLUB (3) Hope must be an exception to the rule for. no matter what happens, she always appears with her usual sunny disposition. She appears quiet and demure sometimes, but do not think she is always that way. for when she is among her intimate friends she is quite the opposite. Hope’s hobby is dancing and she certainly can dance. She has done exceedingly well in her school work during her four years with us and intends to become a business woman later on. GLADYS EVELYN GORNALL (“Glad”) GLEANER (3) (4), CLASS PROPHET (4), PROPERTY MANAGER “SALLY AND CO.” (4), STAGE MANAGER “GREEN STOCKINGS” (4), CLEE CLUB (4), PROPERTY MANAGER OF OPERETTA (4), HONOR SOCIETY. SPEAKERS BUREAU (4) Motto: “Today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision oj hope” Bright eyes? Well, rather! Just look at the picture. Gladys is one of our shining lights at P. H. S. She gets her 5’s as easy as most of us get our 3’s. But don’t get the idea that all she does is her studying. She manages to give her support to our various teams, and say, doesn’t she dance! She’s right there with her school spirit. Next year Gladys intends to enter R. I. C. E. and make as fine a reputation for herself there as she has done here. 1926 Pawtucket Senior High School 31 STEPHEN FRANCIS GIUSTI (“Steve”) Motto: “Be yourself GLEE CLUB (3) (4), HONORARY MENTION POSTER PRIZE “THE CHAMPION” (3), THIRD PRIZE ROUND-UP (3) “Hey, ‘Steve,’ draw us a little picture, will ya, huh?”—and that’s how “Steve” became famous. No matter what he may be doing, he is always ready to oblige his friends by drawing pictures for them. His pictures are always seen on the bulletin boards, stimulating interest in school activities. “Steve” is always to be seen at the games, either on the sidelines, or on a reserved seat on the bench. Dancing is another of his hobbies, and he certainly does himself credit in this act. “Steve” some day has hopes of becoming a famous cartoonist. Keep drawing, “Steve”! DORIS IRENE HALL (“Dot”) Motto: “Be happy w ule you re living ’euz you re a long time dead.” CLASS BASKETBALL (4), GLEE CLUB (4), ORCHESTRA (1) (4) Here is another “Dot.” She is one of that quiet, retiring sort of individuals who says nothing but worthwhile things. But she is a good sport and loves fun as well as the rest of us. Dot is inclined to be musical—her chosen instrument being the violin. She is fond of applied design, so she informs us. Next year will probably find her at some business college or a member of the “Stenographers’ Club.” Whatever you decide to do, “Dot,” you may be sure we wish you the best of luck. EARLE GARDNER HARRISON (“Harry”) Motto: “Never study if you can find anything else to do” BASKETBALL (4), GLEE CLUB (3) (4) Ah! Here’s a boy after my own heart! What a beautiful girl he makes, with his ruby lips, rosy cheeks, and feminine wig. Ah, but these are only temporary. “Freak Day” over, we again see our Earle a manly youth; we again hear the bang, bang,—the scrape of shoe leather as Earle gently sinks into his seat. Although “Harry” says he does not care for studies, he ranks prettv high in most of them. He was a meml)er of the varsity basketball team and fought hard for the glory of P. H. S. RAYMOND LOUISE HEALEY (“Ray,” “Nick”) Motto: “Everything comes to him who waits” Of course you’ve seen that Ford runabout that runs like a Packard and has all the improvements of 1926 on it? W;ell, that’s “Ray’s” “car. “Ray” is one of our mechanically inclined fellows. He can do almost anything with an automobile or an engine. “Ray” is also fond of athletics and is a basketball player of marked ability. He will probably enter the business world next year, where the best wishes of the Class of ’26 go with him. Pawtucket Senior High School FLORENCE HENDERSON (“Flossie” “Flo”) 1926 Mono: “Be happy while you're living because you're a long time dead.” SENIOR SUPPER COMMITTEE (4) The entrance of a smiling young lady preceded by a giggle—our “Flossie.” A sunny disposition is one of “Flossie’s” assets. Nothing ever troubles her because she never allows it to. With her happy and friendly ways she has won a host of friends at P. H. S. “Flossie” is keen on dancing. Just say “a dance” and she will yell, “Where?” She hopes to be “somebody’s stenog” sometime or other, so we wish her a successful career in the business world. DORIS FRANCES HERBERT (“Dot”) Hark! and the Spanish, French and history shark appears on the scene. Dot seems to shine when the 5’s are being awarded, but nevertheless we know she is well deserving of them. Swimming and skating are “Dot’s” favorite sports, so it is quite plain that all her spare moments are not spent on her studies. We also know that Dot” “trips the light fantastic” quite pleasingly. As to the future, we look forward to R. I. C. E.’s claiming Doris as one of its brilliant members. Good luck, “Dot.” NORMAN HIGGINSON (“Bill,” “Norm”) Motto: “A quitter never wins—and a winner never quits.” track (2) (3) (4) “Five foot-two—eyes of blue, has anybody seen” “Bill” Higginson? Why—sure, there he is making love to the girls in 22C. “Bill.” though rather deficient in stature, can throw as fast a line of conversation as the best of them. “Norm” has proved himself an ardent P. H. S. “rooter” and has supported many of its activities. In track “Bill’s” legs verily twinkle, and that is why he is a star on the track team. Brown University is his next stop. ROBERT MENZIES HOLBURN (“Bob”) “Bob” may be small, but he believes in the old adage that “great things come in small packages.” He also believes that “little boys should he seen but not heard,” which is shown by the fact that he seldom speaks, except, perhaps, at lunch period. “Bob” is very fond of wood-work and perhaps some day we will see him a famous carpenter. He has been very silent about his future plans, but whatever he does, P. H. S. wishes him luck. 1926 IIMIIIMMtfMMMMMBMdMWmmMHMHIIHIIU mm� mumnmiMmiMimiHUM mMI limHHmmHUtlll1Utt UIMHMIMHUUIHIlBUiailUillimilUlliriHUHIIU'l Pawtucket Senior Hich Sciiooi nmmmmmmammmmu uimniMiiiMn 33 SABLE HOOGASIAN (“Bools”) Motto: “Make hay while the sun shines” FOOTBALL (2) (3) (4), BASEBALL (3) (4), GLEE CLUB (3) (4) “What! No milk!” That’s “Boots” sure enough! No one but he would ever think of that. He even was himself on Freak Day, yes sir. just a milkman. “Boots” is the happy-go-lucky fellow who is always ready to laugh at any good joke. Football and baseball claim him on the field and he sure does his stuff in these events. He is a staunch supporter of all the teams, his snap and win always a factor in our victories. Here s to your success whatever you may do in the future. “Boots. JOSEPH HORSFIELD (“Joe”) “Joe” is one of those fellows who believes that “Silence is golden.” Since history is his favorite study and the class is kept enlivened by his brilliant recitations, we wonder whether or not he is really shv after all. History contains many thrilling stories of kings and beautiful queens, so perhaps his choice has something to do with this. “Joe's” future undertakings are undecided but we feel sure that his good record plus his “golden smile” will surely win for him success. THERESA HORVITZ (“Trixy,” “Tess”) Motto: “There's plenty of room at the top” HONOR SOCIETY Theresa, better known as “Trixy,” is one of our best “studiers. She likes sports in general, although she doesn’t care to indulge in them herself. Her favorite hobby is playing the piano. She likes all her subjects, but she likes “Type” and shorthand best. When she leaves high school “Trix” intends to obtain the important position of private secretary. Theresa has great ambitions and will, no doubt, be successful in whatever she attempts in the future. P. H. S. wishes her luck.

She has always that care-free air that makes one desirous of her acquaintance and companionship. “Jackie” can he seen on most any summer evening playing tennis at Roger Williams Park. Next year, she is going to Brown and we all know that if she continues to get the good marks that she received in high school, she will he a great success in her future life. ROBERT ARNOLD JACKSON (“Bob”) “Bob” is that fellow who has so often brightened his U. S. History class with his humorous remarks. He is rather quiet and is seldom seen with a girl, but nevertheless he is well-liked by all who know him. His marks show that he doesn't neglect his studies. “Bob” is another fellow who hasn't decided about his future, but whatever he does, the Class of 1926 gives him its best. ALFRED JOSEPH JACQUES (“Jimmy”) Motto: “Trust to luck.” Who is that quiet young gentleman who never dares to look at a girl but who is always seen at every sporting event? Why, that’s “Jim”! He and his pal. Harrison, make sixth period pass quickly for the other inmates of the fourth year French class. “Jim” expects to enter the business world next year. All the members of the Class of ’26 wish him the best of luck. VERA JAMES (“Vick,” “Vee”) Motto: “Lauglt, love and be natural.” GLEE CLUB (4) “Vick” is a carefree, ever-on-the-go, jolly girl. She is always ready with her mirth-provoking witticisms and humorous retorts; in other words, she is “full of the dickens.” She is a lover of all kinds of sports, both indoor and outdoor sports, having a possible preference for dancing. She doesn't mind studying a little, but the less, the better. Her one willow is history, and she can’t see why so many dates and men must be recorded to make a nation. America would be America without them; but that’s history. Vicky is also a talented pianist, an ardent follower of “King Jazz.” She intends to enter the ranks of stenographers marching from P. H. S. and will march into some office to struggle over stenographic strifes. 1926 Pawtucket Senior High School 35 ELIZABETH JOHNSTON (“Bet,” “Betty,” “Lib”) Motto: “To have a friend, be one.

Rose has shown good school spirit and has taken a great part in the various activities of the school. What would we have done without Rose to play the popular music for us during the singing periods? Her favorite studies are French and English, which can readily be seen by the marks she receives in these subjects. Rose enjoys all sports, but she is especially fond of swimming and dancing. She is going to Brown next year, as it is her ambition to become a teacher of modern languages. The Class of 1926 knows that whatever she starts, she generally succeeds in finishing. ETHEL RITA KELLY (“Kel,” “Et”) Motto: “Brighten the corner where you are. “Ha-ha-ha!” What a bright and happy group, and it’s no other than our “Et” who is causing this mirth. Ethel is the bright light for us, for whatever the trouble might be or whatever help we need she never fails us. Ethel always says that she doesn’t knowr anything, but we never believe her. How about the 5’s in English? Miss Rowe doesn’t give them by mistake. Ethel expects to attend R. I. C.

Her favorite pastime is getting Miss Moulton’s lunch, although she is often seen reading, and they’re not always her school books. Kathleen intends to enter Bryant and Stratton College when she leaves P. H. S. and we all wish her success. RACHEL ANN KENYON (“Rae”) Motto: “Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you If you should look into Room 22C a few minutes after the 8:30 bell has rung, you would probably see “Rae” come scurrying in. all out of breath. But. nevertheless, she is one of the nicest girls in the senior class. She chooses French and history for her favorite studies, and although she likes to have a good time, she also likes to study, as is shown by her scholastic standing. Her favorite sport is skating. In the fall she is going to Rhode Island College of Education and we all know that she will make a fine teacher.

The highest individual point scorer of the Central Falls series is “Hughie’s” honor. But even though athletics has taken up most of his time, yet social activities have been included in bis schedule. “Hughie” has decided to continue his impressive career at William and Mary. Keep it up, “Hughie”! ALEXANDER KINNEY (“Al”) Motto: “What! No spinach! HONOR SOCIETY Here is one of our renowned classmates.

Of course we won’t mention any names, but—. “Al” was always present when a roll was called at a school function and the subject of his attentions could lx? seen at his side. From this we don’t mean to intimate that “Al” was dumb in other ways. Quite the contrary.

Her latest is New England Championship Shot-put. In our invincible girls’ basketball team of 1926, Margaret has proven her worth also. You can just guess that her favorite pastime is swimming, and most any Friday will find her at the Pawtucket Boys’ Club having her swim. We cannot imagine one better suited for a physical director than Margeret, and she will prove this to us when she attends Sargent’s School. in : ;rMHiimiimiimmmitimuintiimmmminuMiwiiiiuwauMiitHi!WimumtiNtinimiimiiiwiHiiitMinmmuiuitm 33 Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 • “n:i r.iiiiiiiitiiuniiiiniimiiiM EUNICE LOUISE LUTHER (“Creme,” “Giggles”) Motto: “Look on the bright side of life” GLEE CLUB (4) Here is a girl who might justly be called “the life of the party,” for she’s always happy and full of fun. “Giggles” receives good marks in all of her studies, and although she is full of fun, can give her best attention when necessary.

This versatile young athlete just simply romps through anything in the sport line and grabs up all the honors. The reports that professional sporting men have offered Harry salaries that would make “Red” Grange look like an errand-boy are not altogether unfounded. Harry, with his light brown hair and blue eyes, has. it is rumored, captured the heart of one of our maidens. Rhode Island State College is the favored choice of our Harry. More power to you! EARL JOSEPH MARA (“Red”) Motto: ‘‘A closed mouth catches no flies.” Earl Mara is the boy with the red hair. He excels in most of his studies. He is alert and active in chemistry and he is a great gymnast. “Red” performs amazing experiments in the chemistry laboratory and everything is equilibrium (everyone is running). In recitation, “Red” can almost quote the exact words of the writer and our chemistry teacher smiles gratefully when he realizes he has an expert chemist in the class. Mara is undecided about next year’s plans, but he has hopes of going to college and we wish him the best of luck. JOHN LOUIS MARSHALL (“Johnny”) “Johnnie” is the quiet (?), sedate-looking chap who sits in Room 27. We never knew until the closing weeks of school that he was a Kreisler in disguise and then he rendered us a “Souvenir” for his remembrance. He sure did “string” us along. Trigonometry is “Johnnie’s” delight. Oh, yes, nothing pleases him more than one of those delightful arguments with Mr. Crosby. John’s a pretty good dancer, too. His favorite song while dancing is “Keep off my toes or I’ll step on yours.” Go to it, “Johnny,” we’re rootin’ for you. LILLIAN LEWIS MARTIN (“Lil”) Motto: ‘‘‘'Keep your face towards the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind.” That tall girl who sits in the corner seat in the back of Room 27 is Lillian. She never seems to be in a hurry unless she thinks she will he late; then we see the dust fly. She is what is known as a good “mixer,” making new friends easily and retaining her old ones, which is indeed a gift. Next year she intends to enter Bryant and Stratton’s Business College where we know she will be successful. 40 Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 EARL PHILIP MASON (“Phil”) Motto: “Keep plugging” TRACK (3), DRAMATICS (4), GLEE CLUB (4), JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE (3) “Phil” is a quiet individual and he does everything in an earnest way. You can judge his motto for yourself. The only trouble is that he is always plugging. In the chemistry laboratory he, with the assistance of Lyman Mason, performs amazing experiments which cause excitement in the class. “Phil” is very thorough in his lessons and his knowledge of chemistry is “wonderful.” In all of his experiments, he understands every action (after a few minutes of consultation with someone else!. “Phil” says that he plans to go to work and it is almost certain that business will pick up. LYMAN ROYAL MASON (“Lyin ’) Motto: “Sail, don't drift ” “Kid ’ Mason hails from Seekonk and judging from the size of him the climate in that vicinity must be healthful. Mason is another one of our athletes and is by no means gentle; play basketball in the gym with him and you will be convinced of this statement. Mason’s favorite studies are history and English, while math is not. Mason is like the rest of the “Four Million” in that he has not as yet decided upon the institution that he will attend next fall. Well! Mason, wherever you decide to go, don’t forget P. H. S. FANNIE ELSIE MATSON (“Fan,” “Toodles”) Motto: “Live in the sunshine, don't live in the gloom. Carry some gladness the world to illume.” HONOR SOCIETY Gaze upon this fair maid and your troubles will all end. for this is no other than Fannie Matson. “Fan” always wears a smile and is always happy. She is one of those quiet girls who sit in the back row in Room 27. “Toodles” generally arrives at school not later than b o’clock, so she is never late. How does she do it? Fannie usually brightens the typewriting room, as “type” is one of her favorite studies. She expects to enter the business world when she leaves us. and we all know she will make a perfect “Somebody’s Stenog.” TYYNE MARY MATSON (“Polly”) Motto: “Nothing is impossible to willing hearts.” HONOR SOCIETY Who is the quietest girl in Room 27? Mary Matson, of course. Mary is fond of her studies and all work. She is the girl who is fair and square, who knows her lessons, who minds her own affairs, and who is always busy. When you look at Mary, you know that she is different from any other girl. She does not like the moving pictures. She is fond of poetry and art. She spends a large part of her time reading stories written in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. We know that some day Mary will acquire fame for P. H. S. and we wish her the best of luck. 1926 Pawtucket Senior High School 11 MARION CONLEY McALMONT (“Mysie”) Motto: “Excelsior.” “Dinna ye ken?” Is there anyone who doesn’t know (he cute little Scotch girl who came to Pawtucket High School last November? It is hard to lielieve that Marion, who is only fourteen, is a member of our class and on the Honor Roll. Marion’s favorite studies are history and English, and by her detailed knowledge of Scotland she certainly saved her classmates a great deal of reference work, for which she will always be remembered. Marion’s favorite sport is basketball. She also likes to read. She has not as yet chosen her career but the Class of 1926 wishes her the best of luck. HELEN FR ANCES McCABE Motto: IFlien pleasure and duty clash. Let duty go to smash.” BASKETBALL (3) (4), TRACK (41, CLASS SWIMMING (4) Who’s the girl with the original swirl? That’s Helen—original.

Helen thoroughly enjoys dancing and at every dance it is a constant trouble for her to keep the order of dances straight and the man aspirants in line. She intends to further her education by joining the ever-increasin rank of soon-to-be school teachers from Normal School. MARGARET IRENE McCABE ( Peg,” Peggy”! Motto: “To the stars through difficulties.” Here in Room 23C before 8:30 you may be assured that the blackhaired, hazel-eyed girl talking about the latest styles is no other than Peggy. She has pursued her way through school by taking things as they come and never worrying. “Peggy” likes good times, has many of them, but never neglects her studies too much. We sincerely hope that at R. I. C. E. you will have a bright and happy future. John David McCarthy Motto: “If you cant laugh, grin.” GLEE CLUB (3) (4) John is one of the wittiest talkers in P. H. S. His cleverness in the fine art of speech making earned him a berth as end man in the last minstrel. Every short recess the fellows gather around “Mac” to hear the latest news reports and jokes. He is no slouch of a singer either, often entertaining the students with selections from popular songs. There is nothing backward about “Mac.” Whenever there is anything going on he is in the midst of it. His favorite study is chemistry. He expects to attend Rhode Island State College next year.

Last year’s minstrel show saw Ed” capering about as one of the end-men. He has chosen to continue his studies at Georgetown University, where we know he will continue his fine record. GRACE LOUISE MILLER Motto: “Fool one—fool all—but don't fool yourself.” Yes. here’s another of the merry throng that wends its way to P. H. S. Not tall; not short: not too bold: not too cold—that’s “Graeie.” Full of push, she pushes her marks across with a vim. Shorthand is her favorite study and that’s no snap, either! Don’t let anyone fool you! When it comes to good times, “Graeie” is right there and all agree that she is some dancer. Graeie is undecided about her future, but we wish her luck. GORDON HENRY MILLIGAN (“Mama Duke”) Motto: “Never worry.” He has red hair, a freckled face, a genial smile, and a pair of glasses, all giving him an aspect of seriousness (?). His name is Gordon Henry Milligan. What! never heard of him? Why, his name nearly always appears on the Honor Roll. 0! “Mama Duke” is the title given to him by his great achievements. Now you know him. That he is studious and ambitious is proved by the fact that he manages to come and stay in Mr. Crosby’s trigonometry class every day. “Mama Duke” plans to enter Brown next fall and we are all wishing him the best of success. EVELYN GADDES MITCHELL (“Ev,” “Tweedie,” “Peaches”) Motto: “Be wise, cleave ever to the sunnier side of doubt, and cling to faith beyond the. forms of faith.” First we hear a queer call, “kee-o-weet,” then we see a figure come rushing around a corner. Ah! You have guessed already! It is Evelyn, the girl with a passion for Ford racers, chocolate fudge college ices, and tennis. Her favorite study is applied design, although we notice she possesses a great deal of energy in “gym.” Next year she hopes to enter the Rhode Island School of Design where we know she will be just as successful as she was here. mmiiiiiiitiiiniiiitiimtMHiiiimitmiiMiiimniiniimiuiiHimiiniMiiiiiiiuiitimiuiiiiiiiirantiDiiiiiitintiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiminw 44 Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 MiiiwiinuiimiiiiiiiiMiiHiiiiminwiiMHRimiiiiiwiiimiitiimmi MiiiiMiuiiiiMiiNiiiiimiMiiiuiiinmimmiiiMiMimiiuiiiiniiiuummiamimiiiiiiiimiimiirmimniuiiiiiiiimiiiiummiiiiiitmiiiiiiiiuiiiuiiiuiiiii IRENE HOLDSWORTH MITCHELL Motto: “The best way to have a friend is to be one.

We don t think Irene learned to walk when a child, she began by running and still keeps it up. Irene's greatest interest is centered in music and dramatics. She plays the part of a news-seeker for the Cleaner, too. Irene chooses English as her pet subject and when she travels to Brown next year, the Class of 1926 feels perfectly sure that she'll shine as bright as any. star there.

Of course, her studies are never put aside as her reports can testify. “Glad” intends to enter the commercial world as “somebody’s stenog and we certainly wish every success to one of our popular girls. PHILIP EMERY NEGUS (“Phil”) Motto: “Don't believe everything you hear. Here he is—Professor Negus. W henever anyone has a question to ask about any subject whatsoever, “Phil” is the boy he consults. “Phil is a real oracle when it comes to “trig,'' chemistry and algebra. Although he looks rather quiet and studious, Negus has a whole bag of tricks (characteristic of the Savlesville “bunch”) up his sleeve. In the lunchroom, he displays remarkable marksmanship with various missiles. Next year, “Phil,” accompanied by his many talents, expects to enter Exeter Academy. He has our best wishes. jiiiiiiiiituiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiniiiHiiiiiiiiiiuiuMiimiwiiimiiMinniiMiiliiiiiiiniimumiii: i 1926 Pawtucket Senior High School EMMA LINNEA NELSON (“Lin,” “Narcie”) Motto: “Life is a mirror; if you smile, smiles come back to greet you” GLEE CLUB (4), HONOR SOCIETY Allow me to present “Lin” Nelson, member of the Rhode Island Honor Society. Pep, laughter and friendliness are her chief characteristics. She adores skating at Slater Park; the reason is a nice looking one. In the summertime she likes canoeing, especially at Quinsnicket. Next year she will either enter Bryant and Stratton’s College, or be hitting the keys in the office of some nice old hewhiskered gentleman. We know she will make a success of whatever she undertakes in life. LILLIAN LUCY NESBITT (“Lilly”) Motto: “Do your best and then try to do belter. GLEE CLUB (4), HONOR SOCIETY Lillian Nesbitt may seem quiet during school hours hut outside she casts away her seriousness for amusement. This accounts for her high marks which are always steady and well deserved. Lillian is one of the fortunate students who are on the Honor Society. This is not luck, hut work. Her motto tells her attitude towards success, the goal that many try for, hut only a few reach. Next year she states that she will he “somebody's stenog,” and we all wish her the best of luck. WILBERT DEXTER NEWBURY (“Jake”) The young man whose picture you see opposite this is none other than our well-known Jake.” He is a perfect personification of optimism and no one can he blue very long while he is around. He is an active student and his fine, true, school spirit can he seen at any game whether it he football, baseball, basketball or track, where you will surely see him cheering old P. H. S. on to victory. We know that “Jake” with his winning and obliging personality will leave a lasting memory in the hearts of his many friends at P. H. S. (both hoys and girls) and we wish him the greatest success in the future. RUTH NICHOLAS (“Nickie”) Motto: “Everything’s going to be all right.” “Nickie” is the kind of a girl who fools us all until we hear her rippling laugh. That laugh is a source of delight to all teachers and pupils. She is one of the “charges” of 21C and happens to he a quiet one. We don’t know whether to foretell matrimonial troubles for “Nick” or not. It is quite likely that she will someday join the corps of nurses at our hospital. 46 Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 LAURA FLORENCE NICHOLSON (“Flossie”) Motto: “A thing worth doing at all is worth doing well” CLASS BASKETBALL (4), HONOR SOCIETY And here is “Flossie,” our jolly, good-natured classmate! Her merry grin, frank friendliness and funny jokes are well known throughout P. H. S. and have won her many friends. Florence has a keen sense of humor which makes her always a jolly companion. She is interested in all sports and school activities and is a loyal supporter of her Alma Mater. She is also one of our best students, for she is a member of the Honor Society. In short “Flossie” is an all-round good sport and friend. MARY NUNEZ (“Tick,” “Tickles”) Motto: “Work while you work: play while you play” CLASS BASKETBALL (4), HONOR SOCIETY That small girl with the big brown eyes is Mary. She is full of life and pep and she does her work with as much enthusiasm as she enters sports and other good times.

ETHEL O’CONNOR (“Tubby”) Motto: “Bear ye one another's burdens” GLEE CLUB (4) Ethel, or “Tubby,” is a great lover of all outdoor sports. She is one of the best sports in school and is always full of pep. “Tubby” seems to make a point of being friendly to everyone. One cannot associate with her for long without having plenty of fun. Ethel intends to enter the Memorial Hospital to train for a nurse after leaving High School. We are sure that if she shows the same friendly spirit to her patients as she has to us. they will soon recover from their illness. ETHEL DOROTHY OLDFIELD (“Ethe ” “Barney”) Motto: 'Who said ‘Lunch'?” clee club (31 (4) Well, look who’s here, if it isn’t our “Barney.” One would think, to look at her. that she was of a lamb-like nature, hut looks are deceiving at times. She is certainly a live wire, especially in study periods. If she has as much ability to “pep up” her patients in her chosen profession of nursing as she has to “raise Cain,” her future career is an assured success. We wish you the l est of luck. “Ethe.” inmnmiimiiimiiimiMiuiii 1926 miMinniimtiiiiiuiimiiiniiimiintiimiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiuiiiMitimiiiMiH Pawtucket Senior High Schooi. iMiiiimiiiMiimiiiuiiitMiiuiitiiiiiiiuiiiniiiRiiimiiiuiuiuiimiMUiMiiiNNimittJiniiiMiiimtni imniiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiii 47 BASIL NICHOLAS PANARETOS (“Bill,” “Pan”) Motto: “He that has patience may surpass anything” Whenever you see a rather tall person walking along North Main Street with astounding rapidity, you can almost bet its “Bill It is interesting to the watcher to see how many of the passers-by “Pan” is acquainted with. Almost everyone seems to know him. In the classroom, he has also acquired fame. Although he is a brilliant student, many of the teachers have learned to dread the pranks and jokes that are so characteristic of him. Although “Bill ’ claims that girls are most unnecessary in his young life, we note with interest an almost daily conversation that takes place between our hero and Miss—well, we won’t mention any names. RUTH PANSY (“Ruthie” “Buckie”) Motto: “Spes el labor.” “Ruthie” came to us from Paterson, New Jersey, only a short year ago, but we have learned to love her as though she had been with us throughout our high school career. She is highly talented in the art of poetry, and we feel certain that some day, in the near future, we shall be proud of having Ruth recognized as one of our famous women. She anticipates entering a college next year and her ambition is to become a high school teacher. Good luck. “Ruthie”! EDITH ALICE PARKINSON (“Parkie,” “Edie”l Motto: “Be sure you re right, then go ahead.” ASSISTANT SECRETARY CLEE CLUB (4) “Who’s that coming down the street? Who’s that looking so petite?” Why, it’s none other than our “Parkie.” who entered old P. H. S. from the little village of Saylesville, a young and innocent freshman, four long years ago. She is now leaving this place of learning still young, but less innocent. “Parkie” hopes to enter the Rhode Island State College in the fall to take up a domestic science course there, and we expect her to achieve great success. CATHERINE ELIZABETH PARKS Motto: “Life is nkal you make it.” GLEE CLUB (3) (4) Catherine is that quiet, unassuming girl who believes that silence is golden. She has been with us these four years doing her work in silence. Catherine has not divulged her secrets to many, but one day when she was feeling particularly loquacious, she whispered that she intends to go to Normal School. I overheard her and the secret is out. We hope that she will derive much pleasure from whatever task she takes up after leaving P. H. S.

He is always in the thick of excitement and whenever lie’s around, something is bound to happen. It is only lately that Maurice has shown the talented side of his make-up by scoring a big hit behind the footlights and by writing some snappy editorials for the Cleaner. Dances also figure largely for this Pawtucketite. Boston University claims Maurice after he leaves P. H. S., and it is here that he intends to show the stuff of which he’s really made. HELEN ALMA PHETTEPLACE Motto: “Strive for success.” Helen may be quiet and reserved to some people but to all of her classmates and friends she is very lively and a good sport. She comes from Limerock and has braved many a storm in an effort to reach Pawtucket High School. She is especially fond of hiking and she chooses typewriting and shorthand as her favorite studies. She is planning to enter the business world after she leaves high school and we feel sure that she will be successful in this line of work. ETHEL LILLIAN PHINNEY (“Teddy,” “Betty”) Motto: “Love, joy, laughter. That's what Vm after. CLASS BASKETBALL (2) Who’s that cute-looking. blue-eyed girl from Room 23? Why, that’s “Teddy,” of course!

Any Friday after school she maybe seen “strutting her stuff” on the diving board at the Boys’ Club. Her favorite studies are typewriting, European history, and gym. Whatever “Teddy” may decide to do, P. H. S. wishes her all the success in the world, and with this we just know she can’t help but succeed.

It would be useless to try to mention all the activities in which he has participated, not only in school but also in outside affairs. “Pete’s” a real gloom-chaser, for he’s w itty, good-natured, and quite a talker. Perhaps most of us will remember him as the Spanish cavalier on Freak Day, the mirth-provoking “Snowball ’ in the Minstrel Show, and the Prince So Sli in “Princess Chrysanthemum.” His studies have not suffered however, for “Pete” has covered four years’ work in three years. Next year he plans to enter Providence College and we wish him the best of luck. nnmiimiir. n: 1926 mtMiimiiiiiiiui iiiMniaMmNiMiMiiMiiiMHwimiiMMiiMiiniiimiiiMiimiiiniiimiiiiiiMimiiMiinnjimimtiirwmniniiiiiniimiiiiuiiuiiiimiiiaiiii'iiimiiii«ii: Pawtucket Senior Hich School 49 MARION PERRIN PINCKNEY (“Pinkie”) Motto: “Take what comes and keep on smiling.” Marion is Lonsdale’s pride and joy. Many times when passing through this famous village, I have seen a small spot of red approaching in the distance and discovered that it was our Marion. This young damsel may appear to be very quiet, but in truth she is full of life and always ready to have a good time. Her plans for the coming year are vague, but we know that she will lx a bright light wherever she may be. May your good times be many. Marion!

Irene was one of the competent property managers of “Green Stockings.” Her favorite subjects are English and algebra. Irene expects to enter the business world next year and we know that she will be a success. JOHN JOSEPH REARDON (“Johnny”) Motto: “Blushing thru.

His athletic ability is confined mostly to hockey, at which he does a mighty fine job. “Johnny is a faithful slave of Terpsichore—and although small, he sure can dance! Here’s to “Johnny’s” success in whatever he may undertake in the future. WILLIAM FRANCIS REID (“Bill” i Motto: “Good things come in small packages.” HONOR SOCIETY, CLEANER (4), CLASS BOOK (4 ). CHEMISTRY TEAM (4� Now we present William Reid, the model student. “Bill” is a quiet chap, saying little, but thinking plenty. Instead of using up his energy in useless talking, he spends his time studying and certainly “lands the choicest marks.” His talent is well known to all Gleaner subscribers and his editorials deserve careful study. “Bill” intends to continue his education in Brown, and we feel sure that he will continue his envious record.

He has lent a smiling face and a helping hand to all our activities, whether social or athletic. He wields a mean stick for the hockey team, and as for baseball—well, the past successful season during which he was manager, speaks well for him. “Let’s” favorite period is his lunch period and it’s here that his constitution shows up the strongest. We expect great things of “Let.” and undoubtedly he will make us all proud of him some day. CLINTON FRANKLIN ROUNDS (“Rosie”) Motto: “P. . S. forever! GLEE CLUB (3) Even though he is good looking, “Clint does not bother much with girls. He is naturallv a quiet chap and does not talk very much—especially in classes. (That’s why he is so popular with his teachers.) “Clint is a good basketball player, but is superb when it conies to that favorite pastime of chalk and eraser throwing.

Imagine a Senior associating with Juniors! Well, that shows that he has no prejudices against anyone. One fleeting glance at his noble face will tell that he is in a serious mood. Max’s most remarkable achievement within the past year is that on Freak Day he was voted as the l est dressed “freak. His victory was no farce because he had as rivals bull-throwers, admirals, etc. His plans for next year are uncertain, but he mentions Brown in his choice. 52 Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 ■ i iuiiiimiimitiHiiiuiiinn.inttitmiiiniiimiimiiDMin MILDRED ALICE SCHOLES (“Millie”) Motto: “Be a live wire. and you won't be stepped on” DRAMATICS (4), PROPERTY MANAGER SENIOR PLAY (4), GLEANER (4), CLASS BOOK (4) Ah!

She is very much interested in the Glee Club, (girls of course.) On the whole Mildred likes school pretty well. Her bugbear is French, but she is a very ardent student of history. New England Conservatory of Music claims her next year where we know she’ll keep up her good work.

We all hope she will meet with the greatest success in her new work. MAX ALEXANDER SIMONS (“Cy,” “Mac”) Motto: “Where there's a will, there's a way.” Although Max rejoices in a rather short name, there is nothing else short about him. The extemporaneous pomposities of our propitious colleague often leave us gasping for breath. As it happens, Max has been with us for only one year, the three preceding years having been spent in Hope High School. In spite of this shortness, “Cy” has proven himself a “fast worker”—not only with the fairer sex—but with the teachers as well. He intends to enter R. 1. State College and then, to use his own words, “overwhelm the commercial world with his resourceful genius.” He has the best wishes of our class. ■■MniMiiniiiMiiiniiiiiiiiiMnmiiaiiiimitiiiiauiwiiMHHiwnmnuiiiiuiiMimiii9iiimiiniMiimNiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiNiNiimiiMiiMiiimiMnniinNiMRiMninmiaii(t'iii'!'iiii i11 WHHummfiHmmnnmunuwinriiMuam—■ 1926 Pawtucket Senior High School 53 PRISCILLA SLOCUM (“Sis,” “Prissy”) She is congenial, alert, and full of fun, and her name is Priscilla Slocum. “Sis,” or “Prissy,” always wears a smile.

His favorite recreation is—well, we won’t tell, ’cause he always regards it as a secret, but dancing is his second-best, and he sure does spend lots of time practicing steps with a certain fair young Sophomore. That “Mert” may succeed in whatever else he attempts is the sincere wish of his classmates. ALICE JANET SPOTWOOD (“Spottie”) Motto: “If there be no conversation, make it.” CLASS TREASURER (2).

Good luck, “Bob.” CHARLOTTE GERTRUDE ST. GERMAIN (“Charlie”) Motto: “He a sport!” DRAMATICS (4), GLEE CLUB (4) Charlotte St. Germain is the shy hut ambitious type of girl.

Nevertheless, we can appreciate the fact that she is always cheerful and we can always think of her as the happy girl with the agreeable disposition. ALVIN SULLIVAN (“Van,” “Sulli”! Motto: “Don't mind the rain.” “Van-Sulli-Van” is a talented young man and many are the things that he can do. His specialty, however, is dancing, his hobby—poetry, and his favorite study—mathematics. The choice of a career has presented one of the most difficult problems to this young man, but he is almost certain now of either one of two things—he will either attend Brown University— or he simply won't. He has made numerous friends at P. H. S. during his stav. and no doubt will continue to do so in the outside world. Best wishes, “Sulli.” HAROLD LAURENCE SWEET (“Dynamite”) Motto: “Esse non videri.” “Dynamite” is one of our quiet boys, hut you wouldn’t think so by looking at his nickname. Although “Dynamite” is not athletically inclined, nevertheless, according to his friends, no game could he complete if he were not there helping cheer the teams. Studies have taken up most of his time, and in the classroom he has always been one of the most talkative fellows. He has supported almost all the social functions. Harold has not yet decided what to do next year, hut we know it will he something worth while.

MARY TAYLOR Motto: “Do it now or never.” HONOR SOCIETY, DRAMATICS (3) (4), CLASS BASKETBALL (4) Now, kind reader, allow us to introduce Mary, the girl with fives in every subject. While she enjoys all studies, her favorites are English and algebra. Mary is an ardent lover of outdoor sports, such as swimming, skating and tennis. She enjoys dancing and playing the piano. Next vear Drown will add Mary to its list of students, and by the time she graduates, she will, no doubt, have a brilliant record to look back on. Your friends at P. H. S. wish you luck in your future undertakings, Mary. HAROLD THURSTON (“Harry”) Motto: “Trust to luck.” “Harry’ Thurston is one of the few students who hail from the “wilds of Seekonk.” One can almost always find him in the mechanical drawing room, the home of his favorite subject. “Harry,” however, does not find fault with any of his studies, as he receives good grades in all of them. He has already decided what he is going to do next year—and that is to accept a position in Lynn, Mass., where he will have ample opportunity to use the knowledge acquired at P. II.

Because of her loyalty and friendliness, “Dot” has won for herself many friends at P. H. S. She likes typewriting and English very much indeed, although she is very good in all of her classes. She spends a lot of time outside of school making dresses. Perhaps she will some day he known as the “village seamstress.” We wish her luck, anyhow. MARGUERITE LOUISE VIAULT (“Margy”) Motto: “Hear much hut say little.” Marguerite Viault pictures to us the exact and deserving girl. She has a sense of appreciation of beauty. Her perpetual pleasing appearance is characteristic, and her quiet disposition denotes sincerity in her work. Her chief diversion is the theater, which occupies much of her time. In school she shows interest and zeal towards social and athletic activities, although she takes little part in either. If we are to judge by her character what her future will he. we are sure it won’t he unhappy. RUTH ELIZABETH WAGNER (“Ruthie”) Motto: “Play and the world plays with you—study and you study alone.” TRACK (3), HONOR SOCIETY Ruth’s one of the liveliest and most jolly of our Senior class. Wherever there is fun, you’ll find “Ruthie.” This happy-go lucky girl with the twinkle in her eye and a smile on her lips has gone through her years at school with nothing hut friends around her. “Ruthie” just adores dancing hut she never lets her pleasure interfere with her studies, for she gets nothing hut 5’s. Ruth is rather undecided about her future, hut we are sure she will reflect nothing hut credit on P. H. S. MARGARET AGNES WALTON POSTER PRIZES (3) (4), HONOR SOCIETY Motto: “You can’t put it over by putting it off.” Everyone knows this charming girl as the famous artist of P. H. S. Is there ever a poster contest in which she doesn’t win one of the prizes? No—never! We all asree that she must hold some charm in her left hand. Margaret appears to be a quiet girl and rather shy about letting everyone know the real Margaret, hut to those who really know her she is the girl of girls. And why?—because she is different. Next year she is going to the R. I. School of Design. Just the best ever, Margaret! 1926 Pawtucket Senior High School 57 GLADYS AGNES WEIR (“Glad”) Mono: Please yourself. please others, hut do as you please.” CLASS BASKETBALL (4) I guess Gladys opens up the school, for every morning, no matter how early, if you go into 23C, you are sure to see her sitting in the corner seat giggling at something. Four years ago Gladys entered the commercial division of our class and since that time she has shown good work in typewriting and shorthand, which are her favorite studies. Gladys’ favorite sport is basketball, which was shown by her work on the Senior basketball team. She expects to enter the business world next year by starting in on office work. ALFRED ROSS WELCOME I “Soap” I Motto: “Mow let me think.” TRACK (4) His name is Alfred Ross Welcome, but he says, “Just step up and call me ‘Soapy ’ Now. “Soapy” is well-known for his football ability and he showed us how he looks in the togs on Freak Day. Welcome is a member of the track team. He is an enthusiastic athlete, for he says, “I may be dumb in chemistry but I can get a letter in track. Whatever room he may enter he is always Welcome and his deep laugh accompanies him everywhere. His smile adds much to the scenery beneath his glasses. “Soapy modestly states that his future work will compel him to go to “Coats Academy.” • ALICE LEONA WELLS, (“Al”) Motto: “Be natural.” GLEE CLUB (4), ORCHESTRA (1) (2). HONOR SOCIETY When you hear of a girl whose report is the envy of many others in the school, you rightly guess when you say, “Alice.” “Al” intends to go to Rhode Island College of Education and then impart her knowledge to the kiddies. It is the work she likes best and we know that she has chosen wisely and will he successful in her chosen profession. “Al” says her favorite subject is drawing. She enjoys dancing, swimming and the like. In short, “Al makes good at anything she undertakes, which is saving a good deal. Au revoir, Alice, and good luck! ROBERT IRVING WHITE (“Bob”) Motto: “Think first ” Robert White is the thoughtful young man whose presence is seldom made known because of his quietness. He will probably become the prosperous business man who utters little but accomplishes much. He may also become a genius in biology, for has he not proven to us that he is interested in that subject by bringing in to class specimens of insects and giving useful information regarding them? To him may be applied the proverb. “Silence is a virtue. 58 Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 uuumtamatinmu 1 ■ Ul'.'IU Ut ROSS WHITEHEAD (“Rossie”) Motto: If you can't win. make the fellow ahead break the record” SWIMMING (21 (3) (4), TRACK (2l (3) (4), ASSISTANT MANAGER HOCKEY (3), MANAGER HOCKEY (4), CHEER LEADER (31 (41, DRAMATICS (3), ASSISTANT MANAGER “THE CHAMPION” (3), PRESIDENT SCIENCE CLUB (4) JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE (31 “Ross” lias exclusively clinched the title of “The Despair of Vlis Teachers.” All teachers nerve themselves for the worst when Ross interposes with a new theory or an insatiable desire for all known knowledge.

I LOUSE GEORGIA YOUNG Motto: “Love no man. not even your brother. girls must love, love one another” Louise enjoys being silent, while she listens to the chatter about her, only now and then contributing a bit of conversation. She likes the pictures very much, and almost every week may be seen in one theater or another as the feature picture may suit her fancy. Dancing is another of her favorite pastimes.

H. S. Freshmen. After a short wait the hell rang, and over four hundred hoys and girls were duly embarked on a high school career. One of the first events of the school year was an address given by Mr. Whipple, newly appointed principal of the high school system. The energy and loyalty of our class were soon shown by the financial support given to the class football team. A fund of over two hundred dollars was subscribed in two weeks. This was indeed a good start for the Class of 1926. Just before the Christmas vacation, we assembled in the Samuel Slater School auditorium. Here we were entertained by some of our talented classmates. It was a happy meeting—and yet, there was a saddening feature. Mr. Ruff, our well-liked principal, was leaving us. It was with sorrow—but with hearty and sincere wishes for his continued success—that the Class of 1926 bade him a fond farewell. When we came back after the recess, we found Mr. Crosby in charge. Many were the novel changes that were brought about. Who can forget the student congress with its senators and representatives? the assembly “according to height” formation? room inspections? the backyard “barrel-ball” league? We never knew what to expect from Mr. Crosby. On February 12th came our first opportunity of assembling with the rest of the high school. On that day we marched to the Star Theatre where exercises in honor of Lincoln were held. The approach of spring was soon heralded by the appearance of four or five ice cream teams in front of the school. Backyard activities were increased, and soon baseball was in full sway. Then came the final “exams”—and our fresh- man year was over. Many of us had succeeded, others failed, while some had dropped by the wayside. As we looked back, it seemed only a short while since we had entered, “green” and unaccustomed to the new order of things. And here we were, just having completed one quarter of the way towards our goal. Exit Freshmen. SOPHOMORE YEAR On another bright and sunny day in September, the Class of 1926 again met, but this time in front of the Broadway building. Only upperclassmen were privileged to attend here, so we, as Sophomores, felt rather important. After we had straightened out our schedules, and accustomed ourselves to the bewildering corridors, we settled down to the rather routine work of acquiring an education, in spite of the continual pounding of the carpenters’ hammers. In November, the Shenandoah, the monstei dirigible (lately destroyed), passed over Pawtucket. School was dismissed for a short time that everyone might see it pass. About this time, one of the most successful football seasons in years was drawing to a close. The state championship was barely lost to La Salle Academy. In basketball, however, we triumphed over Central Falls, retaining possession of the Frank Martin trophy for that year. In January, we were given our first opportunity of seeing the dignified Seniors become “freaks” for a day. We were greatly amused by the queer and original costumes, but we resolved even to surpass these in our senior year. The next day the Juniors, following the annual custom, appeared in mourning for the Seniors. The Round-Up and Minstrel Show were given on two successive nights by the Parent-Teacher Association. Our class contributed quite a few participants to these activities. After these productions, dancing was enjoyed in the newly opened gymnasium. The senior play was given in May in the new and beautiful auditorium. mmi iiiiiniiiiniii«itimiiiriiitmiimituititmitmiitEiiiimmiiitiiaftmttmtmmmiiminHiiiiftiit(iiiuiiiiaiiinitiiiiiiii:itiifliiitiiiiiiiiitnuiuiitmiin!tii:ritii:iiiitnft(:iiiiiTiiiiuiiiuiiintiiniiiiiiiiiniiiiuiitimitmiimiifuiiiiiniii.titi:ttiin(ftinttfmiiiiiiiiiTtitintinifirminniuMaaH 60 Pawtucket Senior High School 1926 Towards the close of the year, we elected class officers for our Junior year. We were passing the halfway mark of our high school career, and were now looking forward to what the next two years would bring us. Schedules were made up. and thus the school year ended. JUNIOR YEAR And so, in September, 1921, we returned to the portals of Pawtucket High School as Juniors. In September the much longed-for gymnasium was opened under the direction of Miss Martha Jones and Mr. William Nase. An exceptionally fine library was opened on the second floor in the old portion of the building. This library was a valuable addition to our school and affords the students an opportunity for reference work in all their studies. The Girls’ Glee Club made its first public appearance on October 31 when it presented a program before the high school session of the Rhode Island Institute of Instruction. A Girl Scout troop was formed and held weekly meetings in the gymnasium. The first play of the season, “The Champion,” was presented by the Dramatic Society with decided success. In December, a Boys’ Glee Club was formed through the efforts of Mr. Albert S. Ladd and M iss Miriam Hosmer. In the December issue of the Cleaner, a new and interesting feature appeared in the form of a “Questionnaire.” This effort on the part of the Gleaner Board was greatly appreciated by the students. On November 26. our newly formed dance orchestra made its first appearance at a lecture given bv Mr. M. K. Dhalwani, a native of Bombay, whose speech was very interesting and instructive. On January 19 there was an important meeting of the Junior Class. The discussion was the annual Junior Prom. The Junior Prom was held in Payne Hall, January 30. The affair was a decided success and was attended by many members of the school outside the Junior Class. The Junior Social was held in the gymnasium on January 15. Dancing was enjoyed in the afternoon with music furnished by our own dance orchestra. The Seniors held their Freak Day on January 28. The whole student body enjoyed this memorable day although there was no interruption of the regular daily curriculum of the school. The Juniors, following the time-honored custom. wore mourning the next day. On February 20, a number of college students, alumni of P. H. S., spoke to the Juniors and Seniors on the merits of their respective colleges. This meeting was arranged by the public speaking class. The P. H. S. Students’ Club presented a vaudeville show and one-act play in the auditorium on March 20. At a track meet in which the girls of all four classes participated, first place w'as taken by the Juniors. The Dramatic Society decided to present a scholarship each year to the boy and girl in the Senior class who should have qualified for all the conditions and been deemed worthy of the honor. The third annual “Round-Up” was held April 16 and 17. The baseball team had a very successful season. Many Junior boys showed marked ability in the game during the season. The Senior play, “Seven Chances,” was presented on May 21 and 22 in the auditorium. Thus our Junior year was brought to a close. To all. it was a happy and profitable year. SENIOR YEAR Then came that thrilling day when we returned to school as Seniors. At last we were “upperclassmen,” enjoying the privileges which only the Senior class may enjoy. With our last year at Pawtucket High School, came the first year of the new Junior High or “6-3-3” system. The Samuel Slater Grammar School was remodeled into a Junior High School. It was equipped with the most modern methods of education, a fine gymnasium, auditorium and library. The old Pawtucket High will be known henceforth as Senior High School. In November the three classes of Senior High imiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmn 1926 iinuiimiiiiNiiiHnmiimiiuiimimmiiimiiiNiiiiuiiMiiiiuiiiimiwiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiuHnN Pawtucket Senior High School 61 iiinhiiiiiiiiiiihiiiiiiii uiuuiiiaiimiimiiin School elected committees to aid in school functions. The Senior English classes were required to write competitive essays on the subject, “Whv did the victories of the U. S. S. Constitution contribute so largely to our success in the War of 1812?” On November 19 the school session closed at 11:30 in the forenoon. The last two periods were held from 7:30 to 9:00 P. M. This was done in observance of “Education Week.” Many parents and friends interested in the school availed themselves of the opportunity to become acquainted with the Faculty and to see the nature of the work done in the school. The Senior Class social was held in the gymnasium under the auspices of the Pa rent-Teacher Association on Decemljer 4. On January 28. the solemn and dignified Seniors celebrated that day of days in the school year known as Freak Day. What a motley array met the eyes of the under-classmen as the Seniors passed to and from class! Mr. Whipple and the Faculty co-operated with us in making our day a success. Although every one enjoyed himself thoroughly, the regular order was maintained and there was no evidence of hoisterousness on the part of the “freaks.” After school, the merry-makers enjoyed an hour of dancing in the “gym.” This was followed by a grand march down Broadway and Main Street, after which the “freaks” attended a theatre party. Although it lasted but a day, the memory of it will remain ever green in the minds of the Class of 26. The fourth annual “Round-Up” was held in the auditorium April 15 and 16. Thirty-nine mend ers of the Rhode Island Honor Society received Honor pins at the “Round-Up.” The Senior play, “Green Stockings,” was presented May 14 and 15 with huge success. Commencement week began on Monday, June 1 1. Graduation exercises were held on Wednesday evening, June 16, 1926. The class supper was held in the lunch-room Thursday evening, June 17. The Senior reception was held Friday, June 18, in Hutchinson Hall. Thus ended our Senior year, the last of four happy years spent at P. H. S.

He said that in his high school days he had seen a magic carpet in the movies that flew through the air carrying people wherever they wished to go. Ever since that time the idea had been grow ing in his mind that he would like to make one and he now thought he had succeeded. However, people failed to take it seriously and so, knowing that we were daring souls, he had come to see if we would go on a trial trip. We consented. We decided to start in one week and immediately the editor of The Pawtucket Times, Ed Farrell, printed a long account of the invention and the trial trip, thus arousing much interest. A large crowd gathered on Golf’s Playground on the morning of our departure, most of them secretly pitying our simplicity at being taken in on such a fool’s errand,” as they termed it. The Mayor, or rather the Mayoress of Pawtucket, Julia Emery, accompanied by her private secretary. Frances Clayton, wished us the best of luck and presented us with a radio that very conveniently fitted in a small suit case and was known as “The McCarthy Wonder” because it was made by John (“Suit Case” I McCarthy. Sproul explained how to steer the carpet and showed us the levers which would take us either up or down. We then stepped onto the carpet and—wonder of wonders—were quickly carried up into the air and were soon sailing, or rather flying, over the historic spires of Pawtucket. After a while we grew tired of watching the roofs of houses, so tuned in on our radio. Our first station was WEAK, Merrill Allen announcing. Ruth Sherburne gave a very interesting talk on “Why Flies Fly.” Irene Mitchell, who had just returned from a trip around the world, gave a brief resume of her travels. Mae Gilpat-rick and Marguerite Fox told of a wonderful beauty clay, concocted by them, which could he had by sending them two dollars and postage. At this point there was much static so we tuned off. We had read in the papers of the land boom in Florida and therefore made “the land of perpetual sunshine” our first stopping place. We left our carpet in Ray Healey’s garage and took a bus to the land sale at Paradise Plat. Ed Melucci, haranguing and gesturing wildly, told us of the choice lots fifty feet square and ten feet deep. Helen McCabe, Alberta Brennan, and Ethel Kelly had bought a lot and were living quite comfortably in a houseboat. Harry Main and Peggy Lynn, now Mrs. Main, were looking for a favorable site for their home. They had spent their honeymoon at the South Pole and were very proud of the fact that they were the first to carve their initials on it. At the Pole they renewed their acquaintance with Ethel O’Connell and Margaret McCabe who were doing settlement work. We did not stay much longer for if we were to go around the world we could not spend too much time in one place. From Florida we went en route for California, our “living carpet” gliding through the air like a feather. We stopped at Chicago on the way for our supplies, all of which were purchased at the market of Lester Roberts, whose chain of stores extended half way across the continent. Beatrice Wilkinson, general advisor in the store, told us what the best things to take were. After paying the cashier, none other than the venerable Ray Anderson, we left the store only to bump into Cecilia Dillon, Hope Brown and Catherine Flatley. They swamped us with many perplexing questions about our means of travel and expedition. Not having time to answer all their questions we broke away from them and were just going to cross the street, when who should come whizzing by hut “Lib” Fitzgerald in her brand new Westcott. In the car with her were “Peg” McMahon and Margaret Foster. Getting back in our “flying steed” we were soon traveling in the direction of California at the rate of 300 miles per hour. Seeing the spires. 1926 o:i Pawtucket Senior Hich School hi«rh buildings and church steeples in the distance, we knew it to he Los Angeles, and we selected a flat roof to land on. This roof proved to be the top of a hotel owned by “Mert” Soule, who congratulated us on our enterprise. We had always wanted to visit Hollywood, so we asked Mert how to get there the quickest way possible. He said that he would have Alfred Jacques, the hotel chaufTeur, drive us out there. Jacques showed us that he was an able driver by getting us there in a short time without any mishaps. The first ones we saw were “Buddy” Beard and A1 Kinney rehearsing a love scene in a play composed by “Tanner” McGarrigle. known the world over for his famous works. The villain in this play was the redoubtable “Soap” Welcome. Edith Parkinson was making her debut in this play. She was the other woman in the case. Maurice Perlow, now the director of the largest concern in Hollywood, was standing near by, with his megaphone, shouting orders to the players and pointing out their mistakes. After they finished rehearsing, Perlow came over and told us that the scenery was painted by Kasnia Jablecki. It was indeed beautiful. We had lunch with Earle Harrison and John Dugall at a restaurant owned by Theresa Horvitz. The waitresses were the two Cohens, Esther and Celia. After lunch Jacques informed us that we had better be getting back to the city, so we left Hollywood and went back to Los Angeles to stay at the hotel for the night. In the hotel lobby we met Gordon Milligan and Philip Negus, both great professors of mathematics in the University of California. We also met Irene Potter and Charlotte St. Germaine. They were guests of honor at a convention being held in Los Angeles. We stayed talking to our friends until it was time to retire. The next day we departed for Alaska. Our first night in Juneau we went to an entertainment, the proceeds of which were to be used in buying canes and bathing suits for the F.ski-maux. A play, “The Whole World's Talking,” was given first. The cast included Rose Karlin, Doris Devoe, Alfred Booker, and Leo Brown. It was acted wonderfully and the audience was filled with admiration. Mildred Scholes played the piano and Helen Lees danced, showing much talent in that line. There were many minor num- bers but the crowning feature of the evening was Tosti’s “Goodbye Forever,” rendered by Dorothy Barrowclough and Ruth Wagner. The next day we went to the wharf to watch the monthly boat leave for the States. Margaret Walton, Louise Briden and Deborah Taylor were on board. They had been in Alaska for two months getting ideas for posters. Suddenly everyone ran to one side of the boat and so we went. too. There in a canoe sat Battestino Zon-frillo and from a sign in the bow we learned that he was going to try and circumnavigate the globe. The same day Katherine Bush and Alice Wells left for the far North where they were to teach the A B C’s to the Indian and Eskimo children. To win the children’s love they were taking many boxes of lollypops manufactured by Joseph Horsfield. Harold Sweet, and Dick Duckworth. The inserting of the sticks into the candy was under the supervision of Catherine Parks, Mary Nunez and Ruth Gallagher. From Alaska we went over sea to China. Once in China we immediately paid a visit to Hughic Keough, now the Ambassador from the United States. Hughie told us all about the numerous civil wars that were taking place among the Chinese and how Arthur Brennan and Bob Hoi burn, two great statesmen from America, were trying to quell these many uprisings and were having marked success. We were afraid of getting mixed up in one of these battles so we bade the Ambassador goodbye. We were anxious to visit Egypt, the land of mystery, and so with all possible speed, started for Alexandria. In a tourist shop, managed by Vera James and Dorothy Butler, we bought some many-colored clay camels and sphinxes, the work of Florence DeCourcey and Elizabeth Snow. From Alexandria we went to Cairo in a Ford driven by Herbert Bradley. Of course we must visit the Sphinx and pyramids, and after looking around for a dependable camel-driver, decided on Steve Guisti. Near the pyramids was pitched a tent and in it was Israel Korenbauni, who had broken off a piece of one of the pyramids and had placed it in a bluish-green solution. The object of this experiment was to determine how old the pyramids were. The data was recorded by Gladys Mulholland. Unfortu- 61 Pawtucket Senior High Schooi nately il would take many days so we could not wait for the results. A caravan on the way to Timbuktu stopped an hour to rest. The leader, Lloyd Dennis, was going to sell toothbrushes to the natives of the interior. Margaret Long and Phebe Arnold were going along as missionaries. As we were leaving the Sphinx we were joined by Doris Aitken, Doris Herbert and Catherine Buckley who were sight-seeing. They told us that a moving picture company of which Gene M oonev was director, was filming a picture in Abyssinia. Helen Searles was leading lady, A1 Ricard the hero, and Wilbert Newbury the heavy. We went back by way of the Nile. John Crompton, captain of the boat, and Kenneth Brown, first mate, told us that Elizabeth Clark, Priscilla Slocum, and Elizabeth Johnston, who were very well known in the world of letters, had recently been in Egypt. Departing from our regular routine we folded the carpet and went by boat to Rome so as to view better the beauty of the Mediterranean. We were told that on board were two archeologists of wide repute, Bertha McGinn and Lucy Brown, who had discovered many antediluvian tablets in Asia Minor and Egypt. Wishing to go sight-seeing, we secured with much pains the great and reliable guide, Ethel Oldfield, to show us all the ancient marvels. Ethel first took us to see the colossal ruins of the Coliseum. In Rome we also saw Mary Flynn, Grace Miller. Lillian Driscoll. “Curt Buckminster, Max Simons and Sherwood Prew, who were on a sight-seeing bus driven by Clinton Rounds. The next day Miss Oldfield took us to Venice where we boarded a gondola and rode around the greater part of the day, while our guide pointed out the most interesting facts concerning the city. Late in the afternoon we passed a gondola occupied by Lester Friedman, Sable Hoogasian, Lillian Martin and Mae Lynch, all of whom had come to Venice to further their education in the art of singing. The next day we left Rome for Spain where we were met by Hope Code, Muriel Bailey, Gladys Weir and Evelvn Mitchell. They conducted us to a boarding house where they were staying. It was owned by Mary Matson. This small Spanish 1926 iwtinunmiM town seemed to be in an uproar, so to satisfy our curiosity we asked the girls what was going to happen. They told us that that very afternoon there was going to be a bull fight and that these bull fights enthused the whole town. We also found out that the toreadors were to be none other than Pete Pimentel and Len Russell. We couldn’t possibly miss this treat so we made arrangements to stay all night. We went to the bull fight and it was a marvel to see how those boys toyed with death. In the evening the girls said that they had another surprise for us. They took us to a play given by Lucille Taggart and Lillian Nesbitt. The main characters were Isabel Jack. Marguerite Viault and Horace Darling. Between the acts, to keep the audience from getting restless, Alice Spotwood gave one of her interesting monologues. The audience gave Alice a hearty applause. From the land of the Moors we went to Switzerland. As we passed over a high Alpine peak we heard shrill yodeling and looking down were surprised to see Edna Conley, Linnea Nelson and Eunice Luther sitting, quite unconcerned, on a rather cold-looking piece of ice. The winter sports were in full swing in St. Moritz and many contests were being held. Thousands were there to watch the skiing which was won by John Reardon with Edythe Campbell a close second. Artemise Anderton, Ethel Phin-nev, Doris Twohey and Olive Chenette wrere tobogganing and although they tipped over many times, their spirits were not dampened, although their sweaters wrere. We went to an inn owned by Joe Davis, who brought us some delicious chocolate and iced cookies made by his renowned cook. Jessie Bar-samian. From the evening paper we learned that Alfred Clark had been chosen by the Swiss government as its official chemist and Max Salathe as his assistant. From Switzerland we went to France and naturally stopped at Paris. On Eiffel Tower were many advertisements and one of the outstanding ones was “Buv Your Ford from Robert White and Earl Mason, the Honest American Salesmen.” At the Botanical Gardens we found Edith Allen. Ruth Brown and Ruth Nicholas showing Illmllllllmlllll iiiiiiiiiiiihiiiuiiiniiii Pawtucket Senior High School 65 1926 very rare plants to the visitors. Mildred Andrews was selling numberless copies of “Ancient Birds and Flowers,” by Catherine Evans. From the Botanical Gardens we went to the Arc de Tri-omphe and just as we arrived Rachel Kenyon and Eunice Cullen were laying a wreath on the grave of the Unknown Soldier. Standing nearby were Kathleen Kennedy, Marion Pinckney, and Fannie Matson. On the Boulevard we met Dick Canavan and he invited us to his theatre as bis special guests. We went that evening. The ushers were Gladys 111 iss, Ruth Pansy and Gladys Weir. Dick said that because so many P. H. S. graduates wrere in Europe he had arranged for a special attraction, the recently revised operetta, “Princess Chrysanthemum,” which we had rather vague ideas of having been given in our Senior year. In the cast were Effie Dawes, Florence Henderson, and Helen Phetteplace. The orchestra leader was Norman Higginson. During the intermission Elizabeth McIntyre and Gladys Andrews sold candy, peanuts and post cards. They looked so very excited that, overcome by curiosity, we asked the cause. You can scarcely imagine our surprise and delight when they gave us one of the cards with the picture of a large, stately building, bearing the inscription, “The Senior High School, Pawtucket, Rhode Island. U. S. A., one of the finest schools of three continents. We had to visit England, so after leaving France we flew across the English Channel to make a call upon the King and Queen of England. The King told us that he was giving a ball that evening and both the King and Queen cordially invited us to attend. We accepted the invitation and went to the ball. Among the noblemen that were present were Franklin Rowfell, William Reid, Harold Sullivan and Leo Donnelly. Harriet Bourne, Eve Calland, Mary Taylor and Florence Nicholson were also among those present. We enjoyed ourselves immensely at this ball and were, very sorry to leave England. but we had to continue on our trip. The next place we went to was Scotland where we called upon Marion McAlmont. Marion had just returned to Scotland to teach school, after she had finished her education in the United States. We also stopped in Edinburgh to call upon Ross Whitehead, newly elected governor of that city. Ross had John Marshall and Lyman Mason, two of his old time friends, visiting him. He told us also that Ada Aldrich, Catherine Coyle, Louise Young, Emily Ballou, Helen Toilette, Alvin Sullivan and Walter Anderson had just stopped in there only a week ago on a trip around the world. Ross introduced us to his new secretary, Virginia Lavandier. Virginia turned out to be a very capable and efficient secretary. Leaving Scotland we went to South America, where we stopped in Brazil. As soon as we had landed we met Harry Thurston. He was now one of the wealthiest rubber merchants in the country. Mr. Thurston took us out to his plant to show us how they manufactured rubber. Thurston’s chief boss was Alfred Binford and under Binford there was Basil Panaretos, Earl Mara, Bobbie Davenport and Robert Jackson. After leaving Brazil we went down the coast of Argentina. Arriving in Argentina we were just in time to see Don Caulfield finish swimming the Parana River. There were thousands of people on each bank of the river watching Don do this daring deed. Don told us afterwards that he intends to swim the English Channel next summer. His trainer is Edward Cote. Helen MacCann and Edna Arnold were going to swim the same river the following week. We wished them success. In the same party w ith Helen and Edna were Doris Hall. Irene Clarke and Helen Coleman. Finding that there was no more to interest us in South America we made our departure. We had proved Sproul’s invention a success and now turned homeward, glad that our fellow classmen had met with such sucess. The Fatal Two, Gladys E. Gornall, Hilton D.

Although Pawtucket was not able to make arrangements for a meet with nearby teams, as swimming is not taken up generally by the high schools of the state. Pawtucket had two meets with the Whitinsville team. In the first meet Pawtucket was taken by surprise and defeated by the very small margin of five points. In the return meet, however, the Pawtucket girls Started out with a determination to win and defeated Whitinsville .‘54-12. As usual the meet with Brookline. Mass., was the most interesting of all. Pawtucket lost out in the relay, thus losing the meet by a narrow margin. Every event was closely contested, and showed Pawtucket’s ability to cope with a championship team. It has long been the ambition of the Pawtucket girls to defeat Brookline and it is hoped that next year, under the excellent coaching of Miss Jones and aided by the use of the new Senior High School pool, they will be able to do so. The 1926 team wishes them the best of luck. BOYS’ SWIMMING 1 K N January 29th the Pawtucket High School swimmers opened practice at the son in years. Handicapped by the lack of experienced material. Coach Lawton groomed his men slowly and successfully. To test the men an inter-class meet was called. The Seniors won, hut the Sophomores showed future ability. Our first meet was with Hope. Our swimmers showed their superiority by winning 48 11. Our second opponent was Technical. Although we defeated Technical 38-24, they were by no means an easy team. In our third meet we were the hosts of Moses Brown, the 1923 champions. It was a nip and tuck affair and was not as easy as the score indicated. We fought hard and won 36-24. Our fourth meet was a triangular event in which we swam against Technical and Hope. The score seems to be one-sided, but ritsht then and there we found our toughest opponent. Technical. The final score was Pawtucket 11, Technical 23, Hope 8. Having finished a gruelling season the swimmers now waited for the annual interscholastic meet at Brown in the Colgate-Hoyt pool. In this we had to fight our way to victory. All through the meet, Pawtucket and Technical were neck and neck. The final event, the relay, was called. Both Pawtucket and Technical needed it to win. The Pawtucket swimmers set down to work with grim determination and won one of the best relays ever seen in that pool. The team not only won the relay but the state championship. The final score was Pawtucket 31, Technical 28. Moses Brown 18, Hope 8, Classical 0. Although there are many Seniors graduating, there are still the promising undergrads, who will uphold the standard that this year’s team has won for the school. Edward J. Melucci, Manager.

Undisputed winners of the state laurels two and three years ago. the girls’ team added another well established title this season by winning all their 19 games. Real tribute of this success must be given to Miss Martha Jones, who by her able and diligent coaching prepared the girls to compete favorably with any high school team. The season opened with brilliant prospects of a record breaking season by the victory over Woonsocket, and victories were registered in quick succession. The peak was reached during mid-season when the girls submerged West Warwick 33 to 9, in the first game to determine the championship. Scoring 35 points in 32 minutes in the first game, the girls maintained this “point a minute” record throughout the season. By their excellent teamwork and superb passing, 622 points were tallied against the 194 points of the opponents. Although five of the players are graduating, there is enough material left to develop another victorious team next season. Margaret McMahon. Manager. BOYS’ BASKETBALL Coach Captain Manager A ft reviewing the 1925-26 basketball team, we must confess that it was a mediocre one. I was not a failure, by anv means, but Dame Fortune did not always smile on our team. In the first place, there were very few veterans to mold the team around and then Coach Ramsdell had the difficult task of grooming the green material for the team. The players thus developed, however, will form an excellent nucleus for next year's team. An unusually difficult schedule was played. Besides holding a berth in the Interscholastic League, the best high school and prep school quintets in the state were met. Our showing in the league, while far from impressive, was. on the whole, satisfactory. Howard I3. Ramsdell Eugene Mooney John Dugall The Frank A. Martin trophy, symbolic of basketball supremacy in the Blackstone Valley, was lost to Coach Pieri's lads after two gruelling games which were never divided until the final whistle was blown. Previous to this year each team had won the cup once, and this year’s victor is the permanent possessor of the cup. In passing, let us comment on the material left for the 1926-27 campaign. There is an excellent group around which to build. When the game is resumed again early next year, our team should make itself known. We wish the next team the best of success. John Dugall. Manager.

Ten games were played, including eight league games, one pre-season, and the annual Thanksgiving Day encounter with Central Falls. Howard “Tex” Ramsdell, former All-Maine tackle of Colby College, served as coach for the third successive season. The conditions for all the home games were of the best, as the Cycle-drome was obtained by the High School for the squad. There were no time-outs for the purpose of pushing hack the too eager spectators nor were there any difficulties arising from a crowded field. Furthermore, the followers of this major sport were enabled to watch every department of the game with ease. This year’s pre-season game was with St. James Academy of Haverhill, Mass., former New England champions, at Haverhill. Every player who took the trip was put into play, so that Coach Ramsdell was able to size up the candidates. St. James was held scoreless for the first quarter but during the remainder of the game it tallied 16 points. This contest, although onesided. served to instruct the green material and to give them a taste of the game. On October 2. the league season opened with Woonsocket at Pawtucket. The visiting team was outplayed at every turn, but owing to lack of punch at the vital moment, Pawtucket only scored one touchdown. In the third period, a Pawtucket pass was intercepted by a Woonsocket halfback who ran 85 yards for a touchdown. As neither team succeeded in scoring the point after touchdown, the game ended with the scoreboard reading 6-6. The following Friday, the Red and White again served as host, this time to Cranston. Again the score was 6-6, owing to several breaks of the game. The home team lost its point after touchdown by an offside penalty, but much worse than this, however, was the fact that Hugh Keough, star quarterback, sustained a fractured collar-bone and was forced to be carried from the field for medical treatment. He was not able to resume his position until the last league game. Pawtucket's score was the result of a series of line bucks, while two drop kicks tallied for Cranston. Pawtucket lost its first game to Hope, the next week. The contest turned out to be a kicking duel with Hope having a decided advantage. A Pawtucket fumble in the last period was recovered by a Hope man and resulted in the only score of the game, a field goal. Pawtucket journeyed to West Warwick on the 28rd to return victor by the scant margin of two points. This score was made in the opening minutes of play when F. Mooney downed a West Warwick back behind his own goal line. Fumbles prevented further scoring. Commercial was the Red and White’s next victim. This was the first easy victory of the season and ended 19-0. November 6. our team was taken into camp by the big East Providence machine to the tune of 16-0. Pawtucket, however, was the first team to give the champions any kind of a battle this season. The team fought to the last whistle and obtained a moral victory in spite of the fad that Ernie Rylander’s charges were too fast to allow any scoring. The following Friday the league ended with Classical at the Cycledrome. Pawtucket played a losing game and the slump following the East Providence encounter lost the contest. Classical netted six points while the Red and White failed to tally. Thus the league season ended w ith three games lost, two won. and as many tied. This in itself would have spelt failure but there w as still the Central Falls game, the season's objective. This encounter, the second game after a lapse of 12 years' inactivity, was played Thanksgiving Day afternoon at the Waypoyset stadium before two thousand followers. The contest was the season's most spectacular game and the outcome was not sure until the final whistle. No score was made until the last period when O'Connor, stellar half-back for Pawtucket, pushed the pigskin across the white line for six points. Roberts kicked the goal. The game closed after three more plays and supreme joy reigned in the hearts of all true Pawtucketites that night. Thus ended the 1925-1926 football season, and, as I said l efore. it may be called successful. Merton C.

The lack of cold weather hampered the conditioning of the team, but the men worked hard and formed one of the most successful teams that Pawtucket High has sent into action for some years. Captain Roberts. Reardon. Oden, Whitehead. Dugall and the two O'Connors presented a com- - Charles Shartenberg - Lester Roberts Ross Whitehead bination which proved to be one of the most formidable in interscholastic hockey. Next year’s team with the O’Connor brothers, Fred Mooney, Garreau and Oden as a nucleus should be able to cope well with the other school combinations. Even at the present time Coach Shartenberg, Assistant Coaches Henry Street and Phillip Lumb are planning an extensive campaign for the coming year. Ross Whitehead. Manager. BASEBALL Coach Captain Manager AW TUCKET’S 1926 baseball team enjoyed a very successful season. The Interscholastic League race, much closer than is usually the case, found Pawtucket a strong contender for the pennant. The team showed a fighting spirit that won many games, some in the last few innings. Our home games were played on the United States Finishing Company’s enclosed field. In addition to providing comfortable viewpoints for the spectators, financial success was made possible by the use of this field. The season started early, but owing to the cold weather, the progress of the team was rather slow. When the league season opened, however, the team picked up and won the first two games. Woonsocket being vanquished 8 to 7. and Com- Howard P. Ramsdel! Hugh Keough Lester E. Roberts mereial being set back 9 to 8. Classical then defeated Pawtucket 4 to 3 in an exciting ninth inning rally. Pawtucket came back again and defeated East Providence 5 to 1. and Cranston 8 to 1. On May 7th. we suffered a 16 to 1 setback from West Warwick. On May 11. Hope came to Pawtucket, and we fell before our old rival by the score of 8 to 7. In our second meeting with Woonsocket we batted through to a 7 to 2 victory. We defended the Herbert Nightingale Cup against Central Falls on June 11. and June 15. The team will lose but four regulars by graduation, and with a number of promising players remaining, we have a fine nucleus, around which an excellent 1927 team should develop. Lester E.

The work of this Board was to solve school problems and to use its influence to better the school. It was the bridge between students and faculty, presenting student problems to the faculty and realizing some of the difficulties of managing the school, using whatever influence it had with the pupils to lighten the problems. The manner in which this Board took care of the tardy lists shows just what it can do. It is a worth-while institution, and although it has not shown its full strength this year, in the future it will be indispensable to both students and teachers. TRACK • 387 track team, although it has not taken IsSjBSs any first place honors in the outdoor interscholastic meets this year, has completed a very successful season. In the indoor interscholastic meet Pawtucket took first place, finishing with a good margin over her nearest competitor, Technical High School. Captain John Dugall, first place in the high jump; Edmund Farrell, first place in the ten-yard dash, and Harold Carney, first place in the shot put, were the outstanding stars of the meet. In the Kingston meet, held May 15, Pawtucket took third place, La Salle Academy leading us by a fraction of a point. We were expected to win this outdoor meet, but on account of the illness of some of the members of the team, we did not fare so well. However, Captain Dugall, Ross Whitehead, Raymond Anderson and Harold Carney did much toward the collection of the points which we acquired. The first place honors of the Brown Interscholastic Track Meet, held May 31, were taken by Hope High School. Pawtucket, six points behind, took second place. Captain John Dugall again distinguished himself in the high jump, missing the record by a half inch. Ross W hitehead also is to be honored for winning the 440-yard run. Donald S. Caulfield.

Treasurer - MHE 1925-26 season of the Dramatic Society has been most successful. The productions have not only been successful from the standpoint of entertainment. but also from a financial point of view, they have added a substantial sum to the treasury. The membership for the past year has been one of the largest in the history of the society. The co-operation and enthusiasm shown by the members in producing the plays proved a main factor in their success. The first play of the season was “Cappy Ricks, ’ presented December 11. before a capacity audience. On March 12, “Sally Co.,” a very interesting play, was presented before a large and appreciative audience. The final and most important play was the SOCIETY Leonard Russell - Louise Briden Alice Spot wood - Joseph Davis Senior play, Green Stockings.” This was presented two nights, '.lav 13 and 14. It received excellent patronage both nights and the players and producing staff deserve much credit for their efforts. In view of our success this past year, we wish to extend to Miss Curtis, who we feel was responsible for a large amount of our success, our sincere thanks and express our gratitude for her work for us. The Dramatic Society this year decided to continue the giving of two scholarships, the money to be obtained from the proceeds of the first performance of the Senior play. The winners were chosen on the basis of scholarship, character, school activities and school spirit. To the future Dramatic Societies of P. H. S. we extend our best wishes.
